Validity of measurement of shear modulus by ultrasound shear wave elastography in human pennate muscle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Ultrasound shear wave elastography is becoming a valuable tool for measuring mechanical properties of individual muscles. Since ultrasound shear wave elastography measures shear modulus along the principal axis of the probe (i.e., along the transverse ...

Cyclic loading of tendon fascicles using a novel fatigue loading system increases interleukin-6 expression by tenocytes [PDF]
, 2013 Repetitive strain or ‘overuse’ is thought to be a major factor contributing to the development of tendinopathy. The aims of our study were to develop a novel cyclic loading system, and use it to investigate the effect of defined loading conditions on the

The avian tectobulbar tract: development, explant culture, and effects of antibodies on the pattern of neurite outgrowth [PDF]
, 1990 The tectobulbar tract is the first long-distance projecting fiber pathway to appear during the development of the avian optic tectum (dorsal half of the mesencephalon).

Faster movement speed results in greater tendon strain during the loaded squat exercise
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Introduction: Tendon dynamics influence movement performance and provides the stimulus for long-term tendon adaptation. As tendon strain increases with load magnitude and decreases with loading rate, changes in movement speed during exercise should ...

The Arrangement of Fascicles in Whole Muscle [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2012 AbstractThe architecture of the muscle fascicles, here meaning their lengths and their arrangement relative to one another, has important implications for the force a muscle can produce. Therefore, quantifying this architectural arrangement and understanding the implications of the architecture are important for understanding muscle function in vivo ...

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009 Intermittent pattern of mechanical stimulation has been demonstrated to possess different regulatory effects on cell metabolism in many connective tissues, but little is known about tenocyte responses. A previous study has shown that the application of a
