Effect of fatigue loading on structure and functional behaviour of fascicles from energy-storing tendons [PDF]
, 2014 Tendons can broadly be categorized according to their function: those that act purely to position the limb and those that have an additional function as energy stores.

Ontogenetic scaling patterns and functional anatomy of the pelvic limb musculature in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) [PDF]
, 2014 Emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) are exclusively terrestrial, bipedal and cursorial ratites with some similar biomechanical characteristics to humans. Their growth rates are impressive, as their body mass increases eighty-fold from hatching to adulthood ...

Passive elongation of muscle fascicles in human muscles with short and long tendons
Physiological Reports, 2017 This study tested the hypothesis that the ratio of changes in muscle fascicle and tendon length that occurs with joint movement scales linearly with the ratio of the slack lengths of the muscle fascicles and tendons.

The scaling of postcranial muscles in cats (Felidae) I: forelimb, cervical, and thoracic muscles [PDF]
, 2016 The body masses of cats (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) span a ~300‐fold range from the smallest to largest species. Despite this range, felid musculoskeletal anatomy remains remarkably conservative, including the maintenance of a crouched limb posture at

Knee Moment-Angle Characteristics and Semitendinosus Muscle Morphology in Children with Spastic Paresis Selected for Medial Hamstring Lengthening. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 To increase knee range of motion and improve gait in children with spastic paresis (SP), the semitendinosus muscle (ST) amongst other hamstring muscles is frequently lengthened by surgery, but with variable success.
