Osteological Correlates of Fascicle Length and Gape in Carnivora

The FASEB Journal, 2022
Previously, our lab has studied the scaling and dietary correlates of masticatory muscle fiber architecture separately in felids, musteloids, canids, and ursids as well as across the carnivoran order as a whole. In some of these lineages, fascicle lengths (FLs; a correlate of gape) scale with relative diet size, while across the ...

Relationship Between Sprint Performance and Muscle Fascicle Length in Female Sprinters.

open access: yesJournal of Physiological Anthropology and Applied Human Science, 2001
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sprint performance and architectural characteristics of leg muscles in 26 female 100-m sprinters. Pennation angle and muscle thickness of the vastus lateralis (VL) and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and lateralis (GL) muscles were measured by B-mode ultrasonography, and fascicle length ...

Automatic tracking of medial gastrocnemius fascicle length during human locomotion

open access: yesJournal of Applied Physiology, 2011
During human locomotion lower extremity muscle-tendon units undergo cyclic length changes that were previously assumed to be representative of muscle fascicle length changes. Measurements in cats and humans have since revealed that muscle fascicle length changes can be uncoupled from those of the muscle-tendon unit.

Measurement of Skeletal Muscle Fascicle Length

2021
Muscle fascicle length (FL) is also an important quantitative indicator of skeletal muscle dynamics, and its changes directly reflect muscle activity. The calculation methods for muscle fiber length include the use of extended field-of-view ultrasonography (EFOV US) technology and optical flow tracking methods, etc.

Gastrocnemius Fascicle Length Changes with Two-Joint Passive Movements

Journal of Applied Biomechanics, 2008
Predicting muscle fascicle length changes during passive movements may lead to a better understanding of muscle function. The purpose of this study was to experimentally compare fascicle length changes in the gastrocnemius during two-joint passive movements with a previously derived kinematic model based on anatomical measures from a cadaver. The ratio

Determination of fascicle length and pennation in a contracting human muscle in vivo

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1997

Physiol. 82(1): 354–358, 1997.—We have developed a technique to determine fascicle length in human vastus lateralis muscle in vivo by using ultrasonography.

Validity of fascicle length estimation in the vastus lateralis and vastus intermedius using ultrasonography

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2014
The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of fascicle length estimation in the vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus intermedius (VI) using ultrasonography. The fascicle lengths of the VL and VI muscles were measured directly (dFL) using calipers, and were estimated (estmFL) using ultrasonography, in 10 legs from five Thiel's embalmed cadavers.
