From muscle fibres to muscle gears: how dynamic fascicle orientation and shape change impact skeletal muscle function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle architectural design strongly affects force‐generating capacity and excursion range, and its functional importance to animal and human movement is well founded. Traditionally, this ‘structure–function relation’ has been inferred from architecture measurements with muscles at rest (from anatomical dissections or medical imaging ...
