Conditions

spierveroudering muscle ageing sarcopenia

Interventions

Use of haptic wrist manipulator to assess muscle power, activation dynamics and short-range stiffness.

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: healthy young adults, age ranges 20 - 30 yrs eldery, age ranges 70 - 80 yrs, free living, ADL independent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: MMSE (mini-mental state examination)

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The difference in maximal muscle power between young and old during both release experiments and continuous movements.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Power will be related to activation dynamics, short-range stiffness, controller function, functional fibre typing (by measuring short-range stiffness and activation dynamics) and handgrip strength. Also test-retest reproducibility will be assessed.	—
