The Influence of Thermotherapy on Muscle Elasticity: Measurement of Pennation Angle with the Use of Ultrasound Images

Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2006
The purpose of this study was to visualize the changes of muscle architecture by measuring pennation angle on ultrasound (US) images, and to examine the influence of thermotherapy on the elasticity of muscles which were stretched passively. Ten healthy male subjects positioned with the ankle joint planterflexed or dorsiflexed were continuously ...

Strength training and detraining in female dancesport athletes: adaptations and retention of lower limb muscle architecture, strength, and dance performance

BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation
Background Although strength training enhances performance in dancers, limited evidence exists regarding its effects on lower limb muscle architecture and the persistence of these adaptations following detraining.

Architecture of the Short External Rotator Muscles of the Hip

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background Muscle architecture, or the arrangement of sarcomeres and fibers within muscles, defines functional capacity. There are limited data that provide an understanding of hip short external rotator muscle architecture. The purpose of this study was

High resolution ultrasound (HR-US) analysis of muscular pennation angle in track-and-fields athletes

, 2008
Purpose: To evaluate the fascicle angles of pennation of lower limb muscles (vastus lateralis (VL) and medial head of gastrocnemius (MG)) using HR-US in highly trained track-and-field athletes, in order to investigate whether the fascicle arrangements of

Pennation Angle of Gastrocnemius Lateral and Medial Heads Can Be Measured Reliably in Prone and Also Standing Positions

, 2017
Pennation angle of gastrocnemius muscle is important for muscle force production. This angle is often measured in laying position (e.g., Zhou et al. 2012 [1]). Many human movement we study occurs in standing position.
