Real-time simulation of three-dimensional shoulder girdle and arm dynamics [PDF]

, 2014
Electrical stimulation is a promising technology for the restoration of arm function in paralyzed individuals. Control of the paralyzed arm under electrical stimulation, however, is a challenging problem that requires advanced controllers and command ...

The scaling of postcranial muscles in cats (Felidae) I: forelimb, cervical, and thoracic muscles [PDF]

, 2016
The body masses of cats (Mammalia, Carnivora, Felidae) span a ~300‐fold range from the smallest to largest species. Despite this range, felid musculoskeletal anatomy remains remarkably conservative, including the maintenance of a crouched limb posture at

Are mice good models for human neuromuscular disease? Comparing muscle excursions in walking between mice and humans [PDF]

, 2017
The mouse is one of the most widely used animal models to study neuromuscular diseases and test new therapeutic strategies. However, findings from successful pre-clinical studies using mouse models frequently fail to translate to humans due to various ...

Pennation angle of vastus laterallis during isometric contractions performed at two knee angles [PDF]

Fisioterapia em Movimento, 2017
Abstract Introduction: The pennation angle (PA) of a muscle is not static value, but it adapts to the conditions imposed by the contraction intensity required. Objective: This study investigates the effect of knee angle (KA) and intensity of contraction (IC) on PA of vastus lateralis (VL).

Muscle Architecture of Leg Muscles: Functional and Clinical Significance

Acta Medica Lituanica, 2023
 Background. Architectural properties of the muscles are the prime predictors of functional attributes and force-generating capacity of the muscles. This data is vital for musculoskeletal modelling and selecting the appropriate muscle–tendon units for ...

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

Effects of Knee Joint Angle on Intramuscular Blood Flow and Muscle Deoxygenation During Fatiguing Isometric Contractions. [PDF]

Scand J Med Sci Sports
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the knee joint angle on intramuscular blood flow and muscle deoxygenation during fatiguing intermittent isometric knee extensions. Seventeen healthy young male participants (19.6 ± 1.3 years) performed intermittent (5 s contraction, 5 s relaxation) and incremental isometric knee ...

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 ...

Tensile response of the muscle-tendon complex using discrete element model [PDF]

, 2014
Tear of the muscle-tendon complex (MTC) is one of the main causes of sport injuries (De Labareyre et al. 2005). However, the mechanisms leading to such injury are still unclear (Uchiyama et al. 2011). Before modeling the tear
