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

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

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

open access: yesBiology 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.

Combined DTI Tractography and Functional MRI Study of the Language Connectome in Healthy Volunteers: Extensive Mapping of White Matter Fascicles and Cortical Activations. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Despite a better understanding of brain language organization into large-scale cortical networks, the underlying white matter (WM) connectivity is still not mastered.

In vivo fascicle behavior of the flexor hallucis longus muscle at different walking speeds [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

In vivo assessment of muscle fascicle length by extended field-of-view ultrasonography

open access: yesJournal of Applied Physiology, 2010
The present study examined the reliability and validity of in vivo vastus lateralis (VL) fascicle length ( Lf) assessment by extended field-of-view ultrasonography (EFOV US). Intraexperimenter and intersession reliability of EFOV US were tested. Further, Lf measured from EFOV US images were compared to Lf measured from static US images (6-cm FOV ...

The mechanisms of adaptation for muscle fascicle length changes with exercise: Implications for spastic muscle

open access: yesMedical Hypotheses, 2020
We are proposing optimal training conditions that can lead to an increase in the number of serial sarcomeres (SSN) and muscle fascicle length (FL) in spastic muscles. Therapeutic interventions for increasing FL in clinical populations with neurological origin, in whom relative shortness of muscle fascicles contributed to the presentation of symptoms ...

Changes in the length and three‐dimensional orientation of muscle fascicles and aponeuroses with passive length changes in human gastrocnemius muscles [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, 2014
Key points The human gastrocnemius muscle is slack at its shortest lengths in vivo. We hypothesised that when the muscle is lengthened slack is taken up progressively, first in some muscle fascicles, then in others. A new, quasi‐three‐dimensional ultrasound imaging method was used to test this hypothesis directly.

Muscle fascicle strains in human gastrocnemius during backward downhill walking [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...
