Biologists and biomedical engineers are proposing to define a new term, “yank”, for changes in force over time. Their ideas are published in the Journal of Experimental Biology.
About:
‘Yank’ is a proposed new term for changes in force over time, so that scientists can study muscle behaviour better.
‘Yank’ could be useful in understanding spasticity, a common muscle impairment in multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, stroke and cerebral palsy.
The objective is to quantify something that our muscles and nerves can feel and respond to.
