Simple Muscle Architecture Analysis (SMA): an ImageJ macro tool to automate measurements in B-mode ultrasound scans [PDF]

, 2019
In vivo measurements of muscle architecture (i.e. the spatial arrangement of muscle fascicles) are routinely included in research and clinical settings to monitor muscle structure, function and plasticity.

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 ...

Changes in tibialis anterior architecture affect the amplitude of surface electromyograms [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Variations in the amplitude of surface electromyograms (EMGs) are typically considered to advance inferences on the timing and degree of muscle activation in different circumstances. Surface EMGs are however affected by factors other than the

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

Stroke 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.

The contributions of fibre atrophy, fibre loss, in situ specific force and voluntary activation to weakness in sarcopenia [PDF]

, 2018
The contributions of fibre atrophy, fibre loss, in situ specific force and voluntary activation to weakness in sarcopenia remain unclear. To investigate, forty older (20 women; age 72±4yrs) and 31 younger adults (15 women, age 22±3yrs) completed ...

Rethinking the physiological cross-sectional area of skeletal muscle reveals the mechanical advantage of pennation

Royal Society Open Science
The shape of skeletal muscle varies remarkably—with important implications for locomotor performance. In many muscles, the fibres are arranged at an angle relative to the tendons’ line of action, termed the pennation angle.
