W Prime: Evidence-Based Proposal for a New Predictor of Gait Speed in Older Women
Muscles, 2023 Background: The hyperbolic torque-duration curve depicts critical torque (CT) and W prime (W′), with the curve’s asymptote representing CT as the boundary between heavy- and severe-intensity domains.

In Vivo Time- Resolved Microtomography Reveals the Mechanics of the Blowfly Flight Motor [PDF]
, 2014 Dipteran flies are amongst the smallest and most agile of flying animals. Their wings are driven indirectly by large power muscles, which cause cyclical deformations of the thorax that are amplified through the intricate wing hinge.

Functional characterization of orbicularis oculi and extraocular muscles [PDF]
, 2016 The orbicularis oculi are the sphincter muscles of the eyelids and are involved in modulating facial expression. They differ from both limb and extraocular muscles (EOMs) in their histology and biochemistry. Weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscles is a

Fluid-driven origami-inspired artificial muscles
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017 Significance Artificial muscles are flexible actuators with capabilities similar to, or even beyond, natural muscles. They have been widely used in many applications as alternatives to more traditional rigid electromagnetic motors. Numerous studies focus

Realizing the potential of dielectric elastomer artificial muscles
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance To build new robots that can safely interact with people, while completing complex tasks, we need artificial muscles. Ideally, these devices would be completely soft, as strong as natural muscles, and powered by electricity for easy ...

An autopsy study of a familial oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) with distal spread and neurogenic involvement [PDF]
, 1981 An 81-year-old man from a family with a history of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) involving 6 members over 4 generations is described. The patient first noted drooping of his eyelids at the age of 65.
