Muscle fascicle strains in human gastrocnemius during backward downhill walking
, 2014 Extensive muscle damage can be induced in isolated muscle preparations by performing a small number of stretches during muscle activation. While typically these fiber strains are large and occur over long lengths, the extent of exercise-induced muscle ...

White Matter Microstructural Abnormalities in Neonatal Onset Genetic Epilepsy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Recent evidence indicates that epilepsy is associated with abnormal white matter. If seizures alter white matter, then the impact upon network function, epileptogenesis, and cognition could be pronounced in neonates undergoing rapid developmental myelination. Neonates with epilepsy due to nonstructural genetic causes provide a unique

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019 Aim: Stretching is often used to increase/maintain muscle length and improve joint range of motion (ROM) in children with cerebral palsy (CP). However, outcomes at the muscle (remodeling) and resulting function appear to be highly variable and often ...

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 ...

In vivo fascicle behavior of the flexor hallucis longus muscle at different walking speeds
, 2017 Ankle plantar flexor muscles support and propel the body in the stance phase of locomotion. Besides the triceps surae, flexor hallucis longus muscle (FHL) may also contribute to this role, but very few in vivo studies have examined FHL function during ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is the most common etiology of drug‐resistant epilepsy in children. Focal to bilateral tonic–clonic seizures (FBTCS) mark a high risk of drug‐resistant epilepsy and involve thalamocortical circuitry in their generation and propagation.

Global Rather Than Vertical‐Selective Saccadic Abnormalities in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective To test whether vertical saccades are preferentially affected in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Methods PSP patients (n = 24) were compared to age‐matched controls (n = 94) and two degenerative groups (Alzheimer's disease, n = 20; Lewy body disease, n = 50).

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 ...
