- - Researchers investigated the link between knee extensor rate of force development (RFD) and falls in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), noting that RFD, a measure of how quickly muscle force can be generated, is typically more affected than maximal muscle strength (Fmax) in this population.
- - The study involved 53 pwMS participants categorized as non-fallers, fallers, and recurrent fallers based on their history of falls over the past year, with assessments conducted using isokinetic dynamometry to evaluate RFD and Fmax.
- - Findings revealed significant reductions in both RFD and Fmax among fallers and recurrent fallers compared to non-fallers, with a strong association between lower R
