Muscle Atrophy, Disuse Atrophy
Effect of Knee Position on Muscle Loss During Leg Immobilization
This study looks at what happens to leg muscles when the knee is kept straight or bent during five days of wearing a brace. We want to find out if keeping the knee bent (so the thigh muscle is stretched) helps prevent muscle loss…
