Abstract
Low Intensity Laser as an Adjuvant to Improve Muscle Strength after Exercise: A Case Report
Highlights
Prosthetic patients, especially those of older age, give up the use of the prosthesis mainly due to fatigue due to exertion, causing loss of quality of life and waste of resources in rehabilitation and distribution of these equipment
Muscle fatigue in anaerobic exercises is caused, in part, by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) [1] impairing mitochondrial function, which causes the depolarization of muscle cells, decreasing their ability to generate strength
One of the predominant factors for this is muscle fatigue due to exertion, which justifies the search for methods that improve performance
Summary
Prosthetic patients, especially those of older age, give up the use of the prosthesis mainly due to fatigue due to exertion, causing loss of quality of life and waste of resources in rehabilitation and distribution of these equipment. Through this type of exercise, it is possible to measure the peak torque, power and total work produced by a muscle group.
