Rare Variant of Vastus Medialis Detected in vivo by Ultrasound and Confirmed by High-resolution MRI. [PDF]

, 2014
[Purpose] This report describes an unusual incidental finding during ultrasound investigation of the vastus medialis muscle. Volunteers underwent ultrasound scanning as part of an on-going investigation into the architecture of the vastus medialis muscle.

Architecture and fiber type of the pyramidalis muscle [PDF]

Anatomical Science International, 2008
The paired pyramidalis muscles are small triangular-shaped muscles that lie between the anterior surface of the rectus abdominus and the posterior surface of the rectus sheath. The precise function of pyramidalis muscles is unclear, but together the muscles are thought to tense the linea alba. The muscles are not always present, or are often unilateral,

Vastus Lateralis Architecture Changes During Pregnancy – A Longitudinal Study

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
While the incidence of falls has been described to increase with pregnancy, the mechanism behind this is unclear. Pregnancy associated changes in lower extremity muscle strength could be a possible factor influencing injury risk.

Non-linear Scaling of Passive Mechanical Properties in Fibers, Bundles, Fascicles and Whole Rabbit Muscles

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Defining variations in skeletal muscle passive mechanical properties at different size scales ranging from single muscle fibers to whole muscles is required in order to understand passive muscle function.

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

Muscle architecture of the upper limb in the orangutan [PDF]

Primates, 2008
We dissected the left upper limb of a female orangutan and systematically recorded muscle mass, fascicle length, and physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA), in order to quantitatively clarify the unique muscle architecture of the upper limb of the orangutan.

Bouncing Back! Counteracting Muscle Aging With Plyometric Muscle Loading

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
The preservation of muscle power is crucial in aging for maintaining mobility and performing daily tasks. Resistance training involving high movement velocities represents a valid strategy to slow down the rate of sarcopenia, counteracting the loss of ...

Simple Muscle Architecture Analysis (SMA): an ImageJ macro tool to automate measurements in B-mode ultrasound scans [PDF]

, 2019
In vivo measurements of muscle architecture (i.e. the spatial arrangement of muscle fascicles) are routinely included in research and clinical settings to monitor muscle structure, function and plasticity.

Function-Orientated Structural Analysis of the Proximal Human Femur [PDF]

, 2009
In his model of the biomechanics of the proximal human femur, Friedrich Pauwels assumes a resultant force acting on the femoral head that is created by the partial body weight and the force of the abductor muscles inserting at the greater trochanter ...

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 ...
