PLoS ONE, 2023 Strengthening the rotator cuff muscles is important for injury prevention and rehabilitation. Since muscle fascicle length improves motor performance and is suggested to reduce the risk of injury for the hamstring, it may be an important variable to ...

Operating length and velocity of human M. vastus lateralis fascicles during vertical jumping [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Humans achieve greater jump height during a counter-movement jump (CMJ) than in a squat jump (SJ). However, the crucial difference is the mean mechanical power output during the propulsion phase, which could be determined by intrinsic neuro-muscular mechanisms for power production. We measured M.

Fascicle Length of Gastrocnemius Muscles in Monozygous Twins.
Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY and Applied Human Science, 2002 A large inter-individual variation is seen in muscle fascicle length of the athletes but the reasons for this phenomenon are unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine whether genetic factors contribute to the variances in muscle architectural characteristics.

UltraTimTrack: a Kalman-filter-based algorithm to track muscle fascicles in ultrasound image sequences [PDF]
PeerJ Computer ScienceBackground Brightness-mode (B-mode) ultrasound is a valuable tool to non-invasively image skeletal muscle architectural changes during movement, but automatically tracking muscle fascicles remains a major challenge.

Residual force enhancement is affected more by quadriceps muscle length than stretch amplitude
eLife, 2022 Little is known about how muscle length affects residual force enhancement (rFE) in humans. We therefore investigated rFE at short, long, and very long muscle lengths within the human quadriceps and patellar tendon (PT) using conventional dynamometry ...

A model of fasciculation and sorting in mixed populations of axons
, 2011 We extend a recently proposed model (Chaudhuri et al., EPL 87, 20003 (2009)) aiming to describe the formation of fascicles of axons during neural development.

Correlation analysis between lower limb muscle architectures and cycling power via ultrasonography
Scientific Reports, 2021 The primary purpose was to examine the relationship between the muscle architectural characteristics of short and long-distance cyclist—including muscle thickness, fascicle angle, and fascicle length—of the anterior thigh and posterior leg and its impact
