Anterior subject positioning affects the maximal exerted isometric plantar flexion moment

We examined the effect of increased anterior subject positioning toward the dynamometer's footplate during maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVCs) on the joint moment, rotation and rate of torque development (RTD). Fourteen subjects, with their hip flexed (110°) and knee fully extended...

description We examined the effect of increased anterior subject positioning toward the dynamometer's footplate during maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVCs) on the joint moment, rotation and rate of torque development (RTD). Fourteen subjects, with their hip flexed (110°) and knee fully extended (180°), underwent ramp maximal and rapid voluntary isometric plantar flexion contractions at 4 different positions (0, 3, 6 and 8 cm; randomized). At position "0 cm", the foot was in full contact with the footplate; at the additional positions, the chair was moved forward. Body kinematics (VICON) and kinetics (HUMAC Norm, PEDAR) were captured synchronously during MVCs and RTDs. The results showed that the maximal exerted joint moment was significantly (p32% from the 0-cm to 8-cm position (126 and 172 Nm, respectively); however, at the "6 cm" and "8 cm" positions, no significant difference was found. The joint rotation was significantly (p50% (from 15.5 to 7.1°; 0-8 cm). The maxRTD was only significantly higher at "6 cm" compared with the "0 cm" position. The time to reach maxRTD showed shorter tendencies for the "8 cm" position than for all other positions. The results indicate an underestimation of the plantar flexor maximal force potential with the current measuring technique. This could be critical in pre-post study designs where a 2-cm alteration in the chair position can induce an error of ~9% in the joint moment. The joint rotation could be reduced but not completely eliminated. For position standardization purposes, a pressure >220 kPa under the subject's foot is needed to achieve the maximal joint moment. We discussed the possible origins (fascicle length, neural drive) of the increased joint moment.
