🧵1/3. Our review of 27 studies on ME/CFS revealed:
-Muscle strength is reduced by ~18% in individuals living with ME/CFS compared to control participants;
-Muscle endurance is reduced by ~11% in ME/CFS;
-Perception of effort during muscle endurance tasks is significantly higher in ME/CFS;
-Data are unclear as to whether the reduction in muscle strength in ME/CFS is due to reduced voluntary activation, muscle atrophy, etc.

Prof. Taylor and Dr Latella's initial findings reported at the ANS conference in December suggest that impaired motoneuron behaviour could contribute to muscle weakness in ME/CFS, and the team now plans to explore the mechanisms causing this. meres.uk/taylor064

Thanks to @_JSAMS for the neat summary of our recent work in this editorial jsams.org/article/S1440-2440…
Creating normative values is difficult, but the advent of remote data collection and storage is a huge help
@clatella1 @adele_hoek @PatrickOwenPhD @Joel__Garrett @Strength_Init
We are close to wrapping up data collection for this #chronicfatigue #research study. Please get in contact if you are interested and in #Perth. Details in flyer.
Thanks to those who have volunteered their time so far.
