Muscle in Variable Gravity: “I Do Not Know Where I Am, But I Know What to Do”

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Purpose: Fascicle and sarcomere lengths are important predictors of muscle mechanical performance. However, their regulation during stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) activities in usual and challenging conditions is poorly understood.

3D Neuro-electronic interface devices for neuromuscular control: Design studies and realisation steps [PDF]

, 1995
In order to design the shape and dimensions of new 3D multi-microelectrode information transducers properly, i. e. adapted to the scale of information delivery to and from peripheral nerve fibres, a number of studies were, and still are, being performed ...

Relationship between joint torque and muscle fascicle shortening at various joint angles and intensities in the plantar flexors

Scientific Reports, 2017
Because it is difficult to measure tendon length changes directly in humans, tendon length changes during dynamic movement have been evaluated indirectly from changes in muscle fascicle length and joint angle. The purpose of this study was to examine the

The Influence of Maturity Status on Muscle Architecture in School-Aged Boys [PDF]

, 2020
Purpose: To determine the differences in muscle architecture of the lower limb in pre-peak height velocity (PHV), circa-PHV, and post-PHV boys. Method: Muscle architecture variables from both the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and vastus lateralis (VL) were

Automatic tracking of medial gastrocnemius fascicle length during human locomotion

Journal 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.

Pre-activation affects the effect of stretch-shortening cycle by modulating fascicle behavior

Biology Open, 2019
The torque attained during active shortening is enhanced after an active stretch (stretch-shortening cycle, SSC). This study examined the influence of pre-activation on fascicle behavior and the SSC effect.

Muscle Fibre Architecture of Thoracic and Lumbar Longissimus Dorsi Muscle in the Horse

Animals, 2021
As the longissimus dorsi muscle is the largest muscle in the equine back, it has great influence on the stability of the spine and facilitates proper locomotion.

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).

Resistance Training Combined With Stretching Increases Tendon Stiffness and Is More Effective Than Stretching Alone in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

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 ...
