Incorporation of muscle architecture into the muscle length-tension relationship

Journal of Biomechanics, 1989
A mathematical model of the muscle active length-tension relationship has been developed. It integrates the functional basis of different muscle arrangements into a mathematical description of the contractile element. The model is complex enough to represent many of the mechanical and architectural properties of active muscle.

Architectural features of multiarticular muscles

Human Movement Science, 1994
Abstract Most of the available information on neuromuscular organization and musculoskeletal mechanics comes from a few muscles that physiologists choose to study because they are relatively simple. They usually cross a single hinge joint, have a single band of innervation, and are composed of muscle fibres with similar lengths, all acting in ...

Molecular Architecture in Muscle Contractile Assemblies

2005
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the major muscle components, the actin and myosin filaments; and it also presents a third set of filaments, the titin filaments, which have remarkable properties and play a central role in integrating the sarcomere structure.

Mathematical analysis of a muscle architecture model

Mathematical Biosciences, 2009
Modeling of muscle architecture, which aims to recreate mathematically the physiological structure of the muscle fibers and motor units, is a powerful tool for understanding and modeling the mechanical and electrical behavior of the muscle. Most of the published models are presented in the form of algorithms, without mathematical analysis of mechanisms

Muscle Architecture Assessment: Strengths, Shortcomings and New Frontiers of in Vivo Imaging Techniques.

Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 2018
Skeletal muscle structural assembly (and its remodeling in response to loading-unloading states) can be investigated macroscopically by assessing muscle architecture, described as fascicle geometric disposition within the muscle.

Muscle Architecture of the Human Lower Limb

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1983
The architectural features of the major knee extensors and flexors and ankle plantar flexors and dorsiflexors were determined in three human cadavers. There was marked uniformity of fiber length throughout a given muscle and a trend toward similar fiber lengths within muscles of a synergistic group.

Extraocular muscle architecture in hawks and owls

Veterinary Ophthalmology, 2018
AbstractObjectiveA complete and accurate understanding of extraocular muscle function is important to the veterinary care of the avian eye. This is especially true for birds of prey, which rely heavily on vision for survival and yet are prone to ocular injury and disease.

Muscle architecture of vastus medialis obliquus and longus and its functional implications: A three‐dimensional investigation

Clinical anatomy (New York, N.Y. Print), 2019
Vastus medialis (VM) has two partitions, longus (VML), and obliquus (VMO), which have been implicated in knee pathologies. However, muscle architecture of VMO and VML has not been documented volumetrically.

Static Stretching Intensity Does Not Influence Acute Range of Motion, Passive Torque, and Muscle Architecture.

Journal of sport rehabilitation, 2019
CONTEXT Although stretching exercises are commonly used in clinical and athletic practice, there is a lack of evidence regarding the methodological variables that guide the prescription of stretching programs, such as intensity.
