Dual-frequency whole body vibration enhances vertical jumping and change-of-direction ability in rugby players

Wen-Wen Yang, Li-Wei Chou, Wei-Han Chen, Tzyy-Yuang Shiang, more

Journal of Sport and Health Science > 2017 > 6 > 3 > 346-351

Traditional vertical and side-alternating whole body vibrations (WBV) can effectively improve muscle power performance but have a limited efficacy for enhancing change-of-direction (COD) ability. Novel dual-plate WBV uniquely providing various directions of movements with higher and distinctive frequencies for each leg may cause better acute effect on muscle power and stretch-shortening cycle efficacy...

Estimating the tendency of motor unit recruitment during steady-hold and rapid contractions using surface EMG and Turns-amplitude analysis

Li-Ling Pan, Chung-Huang Yu, Mei-Wun Tsai, Shun-Hwa Wei, more

European Journal of Applied Physiology > 2015 > 115 > 11 > 2407-2414

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in the interference pattern in surface electromyography (EMG), and its relationship with the tendency of motor unit (MU) recruitment during steady-hold and rapid muscle contractions. Methods Fifteen healthy adults (eight females and seven males, 22.6 ± 1.5 years old) performed steady-hold and rapid isometric contractions of the bicep brachii,...

Fluence-dependent effects of low-level laser therapy in myofascial trigger spots on modulation of biochemicals associated with pain in a rabbit model

Yueh-Ling Hsieh, Chang-Zern Hong, Li-Wei Chou, Shun-An Yang, more

Lasers in Medical Science > 2015 > 30 > 1 > 209-216

Evidence strongly supports that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is an effective physical modality for the treatment of pain associated with myofascial trigger points (MTrP). However, the effect of laser fluence (energy intensity in J/cm²) on biochemical regulation related to pain is unclear. To better understand the biochemical mechanisms modulated by high- and low-fluence LLLT at myofascial trigger...

Needling therapy for myofascial pain: recommended technique with multiple rapid needle insertion

Li-Wei Chou, Yueh-Ling Hsieh, Ta-Shen Kuan, Chang-Zern Hong

BioMedicine > 2014 > 4 > 2 > 1-8

Myofascial trigger point (MTrP) is a major cause of muscle pain, characterized with a hyperirritable spot due to accumulation of sensitized nociceptors in skeletal muscle fibers. Many needling therapy techniques for MTrP inactivation exist. Based on prior human and animal studies, multiple insertions can almost completely eliminate the MTrP pain forthwith. It is an attempt to stimulate many sensitive...

Evaluation of Strain Measurement in a Die-to-Interposer Chip Using In Situ Synchrotron X-Ray Diffraction and Finite-Element Analysis

Hsueh-Hsien Hsu, Tz-Cheng Chiu, Tao-Chih Chang, Shin-Yi Huang, more

Journal of Electronic Materials > 2014 > 43 > 1 > 52-56

To decrease the size of portable devices, this study incorporates a stacked three-dimensional integrated circuit architecture into advanced packaging techniques. The traditional FR-4 substrate was substituted with silicon interposers. Because silicon is rigid and highly resistant to deformation, this minimizes thermal stress caused by thermal expansion mismatch in the structure. This study shows that...
