According to the article "Effect of Immobilisation on Neuromuscular Function in Vivo in Humans: A Systematic Review," "a key finding of this review is that," *

2 points

the greatest changes in all variables relating to neuromuscular function occur after 2 weeks of immobilization

the greatest changes in all variables relating to neuromuscular function occur after immobilization is discontinued

the greatest changes in all variables relating to neuromuscular function occur during the initial period of immobilization

changes were surprisingly uniform throughout the entire period of immobilization

According to the article "Effect of Immobilisation on Neuromuscular Function in Vivo in Humans: A Systematic Review," a reduction in muscle function is often quantified by *

2 points

a decrease in strength and range of motion

a decrease in range of motion and atrophy

atrophy or the ability to volitionally produce force

a decrease in strength or the ability to volitionally produce force

According to the article "Effect of Immobilisation on Neuromuscular Function in Vivo in Humans: A Systematic Review," "changes in neuromuscular function appear to differ depending on immobilisation location," *

2 points

1. with upper limb immobilization resulting in greater central changes

2. with upper limb immobilization resulting in greater peripheral changes

3. with lower limb immobilization resulting in greater central changes

4. with lower limb immobilization resulting in greater peripheral changes

According to the article "Effect of Immobilisation on Neuromuscular Function in Vivo in Humans: A Systematic Review," what other factor partly explains the immobilisation-induced loss in muscle strength *

2 points

osteomalacia

impaired endurance

neural mechanisms

coordination problems

According to the article "Effect of Immobilisation on Neuromuscular Function in Vivo in Humans: A Systematic Review," "decreased isometric muscular strength and size occur alongside the following changes in both peripheral and central neuromuscular function" EXCEPT *

2 points

decreased muscle fiber excitability and contractility

decreased bilateral reciprocal movements

decreased spinal and corticospinal excitability

reduced central motor drive
