Detecting muscle activation using ultrasound speed of sound inversion with deep learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Functional muscle imaging is essential for diagnostics of a multitude of musculoskeletal afflictions such as degenerative muscle diseases, muscle injuries, muscle atrophy, and neurological related issues such as spasticity. However, there is currently no solution, imaging or otherwise, capable of providing a map of active muscles over a large field of ...

Sex differences in muscle morphology of the knee flexors and knee extensors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Females experience higher risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries; males experience higher risk of hamstring strain injuries. Differences in injury may be partially due to sex differences in knee flexor (KF) to knee extensor (KE) muscle size ...

Concussion classification via deep learning using whole-brain white matter fiber strains [PDF]
, 2017 Developing an accurate and reliable injury predictor is central to the biomechanical studies of traumatic brain injury. State-of-the-art efforts continue to rely on empirical, scalar metrics based on kinematics or model-estimated tissue responses explicitly pre-defined in a specific brain region of interest.

Functional muscle hypertrophy by increased insulin-like growth factor 1 does not require dysferlin. [PDF]
, 2019 IntroductionDysferlin loss-of-function mutations cause muscular dystrophy, accompanied by impaired membrane repair and muscle weakness. Growth promoting strategies including insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) could provide benefit but may cause ...

Multiscale Mechanical Modeling of Skeletal Muscle: A Systemic Review of the Literature [PDF]
Purpose: From the myofibrils to the whole muscle scale, muscle micro-constituents exhibit passive and active mechanical properties, potentially coupled to electrical, chemical, and thermal properties. Experimental characterization of some of these properties is currently not available for all muscle constituents.

Calf Muscle Strain: Injury of the Gastronemius and Soleus [PDF]
, 2017 CLINICAL PRESENTATION & EXAM: Calf strains are usually the result of a sudden pushing off movement or over-stretching of the muscle and usually afflict athletes and others later in life.
