Correlation between age, muscle architecture, and muscle strength in children with Erb’s palsy
Bulletin of Faculty of Physical Therapy, 2021 Background Muscle weakness is a widespread problem in children with Erb’s palsy as it can cause changes in muscle architecture parameters, which can be detected by ultrasonography.

Building a Bird: Musculoskeletal Modeling and Simulation of Wing-Assisted Incline Running during Avian Ontogeny [PDF]
, 2018 Flapping flight is the most power-demanding mode of locomotion, associated with a suite of anatomical specializations in extant adult birds. In contrast, many developing birds use their forelimbs to negotiate environments long before acquiring “flight ...

Gastrocnemius fascicles are shorter and more pennate throughout the first month following acute Achilles tendon rupture [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 The purpose of this study was to characterize the short-term effects of Achilles tendon ruptures on medial gastrocnemius. We hypothesized that the fascicles of the medial gastrocnemius muscle of the injured Achilles tendon would be shorter and more ...

Interaponeurosis shear strain modulates behavior of myotendinous junction of the human triceps surae. [PDF]
, 2013 Muscle fascicles insert into a sheet-like aponeurosis. Adjacent aponeuroses are structurally in contact with each other, and ultimately merge into a common tendon. Consequently, fascicle shortening in planes of tissue layers in adjacent compartments must
