  2. Muscle fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_fatigue

    Muscle fatigue is not the same as muscle weakness, though weakness is an initial symptom. Despite a normal amount of force being generated at the start of activity, once muscle fatigue has set in and progressively worsens, if the individual persists in the exercise they will eventually lose their hand grip, or become unable to lift or push with ...

  3. Contracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contracture

    In regards to muscle, these include (but not limited to): Ischemia (restriction of blood flow) leading to the death of muscle tissue, as in Volkmann's contracture. Muscle injury leading to adhesions and fibrosis (internal scarring). Fibrosis occurs within a muscle or organ, whereas adhesions bind two separate tissues or organs together ...

  4. Weakness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakness

    Weakness is a symptom of many different medical conditions. [1] The causes are many and can be divided into conditions that have true or perceived muscle weakness. True muscle weakness is a primary symptom of a variety of skeletal muscle diseases, including muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy.

  5. Muscle contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction

    In concentric contraction, muscle tension is sufficient to overcome the load, and the muscle shortens as it contracts. [8] This occurs when the force generated by the muscle exceeds the load opposing its contraction. During a concentric contraction, a muscle is stimulated to contract according to the sliding filament theory. This occurs ...

  6. Muscle contracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contracture

    [1] [3] One muscle may be normal while the other is atrophic or hypertrophic; alternately, one muscle may be hypertrophic while the other is atrophic. [3] A decrease in muscle tone leads to continuous disuse and eventually muscular atrophy. The constant contraction of the agonist muscle with minimal resistance can result in a contracture.

  8. Muscle weakness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_weakness

    Central fatigue is a reduction in the neural drive or nerve-based motor command to working muscles that results in a decline in the force output. [3] [4] [5] It has been suggested that the reduced neural drive during exercise may be a protective mechanism to prevent organ failure if the work was continued at the same intensity.
