Muscle Architecture of Leg Muscles: Functional and Clinical Significance. [PDF]
Acta Med Litu, 2023 Background. Architectural properties of the muscles are the prime predictors of functional attributes and force-generating capacity of the muscles. This data is vital for musculoskeletal modelling and selecting the appropriate muscle–tendon units for tendon transfers.Cadaveric data for architectural properties is the gold standard and primary input ...

The association between muscle architecture and muscle spindle abundance. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 AbstractAcross the human body, skeletal muscles have a broad range of biomechanical roles that employ complex proprioceptive control strategies to successfully execute a desired movement. This information is derived from peripherally located sensory apparatus, the muscle spindle and Golgi tendon organs.

Regional heterogeneity in muscle fiber strain: The role of fiber architecture
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 The force, mechanical work and power produced by muscle fibers are profoundly affected by the length changes they undergo during a contraction. These length changes are in turn affected by the spatial orientation of muscle fibers within a muscle (fiber ...

Hamstring Muscles: Architecture and Innervation [PDF]
Cells Tissues Organs, 2005 Knowledge of the anatomical organization of the hamstring muscles is necessary to understand their functions, and to assist in the development of accurate clinical and biomechanical models. The hamstring muscles were examined by dissection in six embalmed human lower limbs with the purpose of clarifying their gross morphology.
