Troponin refers to three different proteins that help regulate the contractions of the heart and skeletal muscles. Normal troponin levels range from 0 to 0.04 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml).

Another method is dynamometry, which measures the force of a muscle contraction with a handheld device. Muscle strength grading is commonly used in people with neurologic conditions such as a stroke ...

“It has been shown in many studies that eccentric muscle contractions produce greater strength in muscles than concentric contractions,” Nosaka says. “Basically, you are working your muscles ...

A 30-gram serving offers 6g of protein and essential nutrients like magnesium and phosphorus, both of which aid in muscle contraction and recovery. Almonds support energy metabolism and help ...

If you have severe back pain, whether acute, recurring, or chronic (long-term), it may lead to muscle spasms, which are sudden, involuntary contractions of a muscle that can be very uncomfortable.

This work introduces a novel, imperceptible method for detecting auditory attention using earbuds by monitoring muscle movement within the ear canal. We employ an ultrasound-based sensing technique to ...
