ABSTRACT Tendons are force‐transmitting structures which facilitate musculoskeletal functioning. Characterizing variations between different anatomical tendons, regions within tendons, as well as between the sexes and with age can improve understanding of tendon physiology and pathology.

Musculoskeletal mimics of lumbosacral radiculopathy
Abstract Electrodiagnostic evaluations are commonly requested for patients with suspected radiculopathy. Understanding lower extremity musculoskeletal conditions is essential for electrodiagnostic medicine specialists, as musculoskeletal disorders often mimic or coexist with radiculopathy.

Common sports‐related nerve injuries seen by the electrodiagnostic medical consultant
Abstract The high physiologic demands of sports create dynamic stress on joints, soft tissues, and nerves which may lead to injuries in the athlete. Electrodiagnostic (EDx) assessment is essential to identify the correct diagnosis, localization, and prognosis, to guide management of sports‐related neuropathies.

ABSTRACT Iatrogenic nerve injuries are a significant concern for medical professionals and the patients affected. Peri‐procedural nerve injuries result in functional deficits associated with pain and disability. The exact pathophysiology and etiology of peri‐procedural nerve injuries are complex and often elude providers.

Passive knee flexion increases forward impulse of the trailing leg during the step-to-step transition [PDF]
Human walking efficiency relies on the elastic recoil of the Achilles tendon, facilitated by a "catapult mechanism" that stores energy during stance and releases it during push-off. The catapult release mechanism could include the passive flexion of the knee, as the main part of knee flexion was reported to happen passively after leading leg touch-down.
