THE EFFECT OF PENNATION ANGLE CHANGES DURING CONTRACTION ON THE ESTIMATED TRICEPS SURAE MOMENT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
INTRODUCTION: Forward dynamics simulations are important tools in biomechanics research but the accuracy of the muscle model parameters (such as pennation angle, optimal fiber length, force-velocity relationship, etc.) is critical for realistic force and

Correlation between age, muscle architecture, and muscle strength in children with Erb’s palsy

open access: yesBulletin 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.

The Change of Pennation Angle of Medial Gastrocnemius on Different Heights of Heels

open access: yesIndian Journal of Science and Technology, 2016
Objectives This study aims to investigate the effect of pennation angle and surface Electromyography (sEMG) activity of medial gastrocnemius on different heights of high heels by using ultrasonography and sEMG. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Twenty eight healthy young females participate in this study.

Differences in Plantar Flexor Fascicle Length and Pennation Angle between Healthy and Poststroke Individuals and Implications for Poststroke Plantar Flexor Force Contributions

open access: yesStroke Research and Treatment, 2014
Poststroke plantar flexor muscle weakness has been attributed to muscle atrophy and impaired activation, which cannot collectively explain the limitations in force-generating capability of the entire muscle group.

Gastrocnemius fascicles are shorter and more pennate throughout the first month following acute Achilles tendon rupture [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 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 ...

Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Illustration of pennation angle.

open access: yes, 2015
The aponeurosis is represented by the grey manifold, and its tangent plane at point p0 is shown in blue, with its normal represented by the grey vector, n.

Quantitative muscle architecture in large carnivorous marsupials (Marsupialia: Dasyuridae) and links to substrate use and prey processing

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Dasyurid species Sarcophilus harrisii, Dasyurus maculatus, and Dasyurus viverrinus, occupying diverse ecological niches and forming a guild structure in Tasmania, provide a basis for examining the roles of various forelimb muscle groups in prey capture and locomotion.

Bite force estimates and morphological correlations of jaw muscles in parrots

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Parrots (Order: Psittaciformes) are renowned for their high bite force (BF) and morphological correlates thereof, including a highly mobile skull and two unique mandibular adductor muscles—m. pseudomasseter and m. ethmomandibularis, with the former being hypothesized to increase force output.
