Three-dimensional architecture of the whole human soleus muscle in vivo [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Background Most data on the architecture of the human soleus muscle have been obtained from cadaveric dissection or two-dimensional ultrasound imaging. We present the first comprehensive, quantitative study on the three-dimensional anatomy of the human ...

Relationships between lower-body muscle structure and, lower-body strength, explosiveness and eccentric leg stiffness in adolescent athletes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether any relationships were present between lower-body muscle structure and, lower-body strength, variables measured during a counter-movement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ), and eccentric leg ...

Comparative and functional anatomy of masticatory muscles and bite force in opossums (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

3D anatomical atlas of the heads of male and female adult Chamaeleo calyptratus

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The veiled chameleon is a model organism in reptile development research. Utilizing contrast‐enhanced microCT and deep learning segmentation models, we have generated the first digital atlases of the skull, nervous system, cranial muscles and hyolingual muscles.

Tibialis anterior analysis from functional and architectural perspective during isometric foot dorsiflexion: a cross‐sectional study of repeated measures

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2015
Background The purpose of the present study is to establish the relationship and degree of contribution between torque and sonomiography variables (pennation angle – muscle thickness), and electromyography variables (EMGAreaUnderCurve – EMGMaximalPeak ...

Upper limb strength estimation of physically impaired persons using a musculoskeletal model: A sensitivity analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
© 2015 IEEE. Sensitivity of upper limb strength calculated from a musculoskeletal model was analyzed, with focus on how the sensitivity is affected when the model is adapted to represent a person with physical impairment.

Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Protocol refinement and inter- and intra-rater reliability assessment of ultrasound-based measurements of hamstring architecture, and echo intensity, and intra-rater reliability of shear wave elastography

open access: yesWFUMB Ultrasound Open
Objectives: The increase in hamstring injuries highlights gaps in current understanding and prevention strategies. Hamstring architecture, quality, and mechanical properties influence force production, offering key insights into muscle health and ...

Rate of force development relationships to muscle architecture and contractile behavior in the human vastus lateralis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
In this study, we tested the hypotheses that (i) rate of force development (RFD) is correlated to muscle architecture and dynamics and that (ii) force–length–velocity properties limit knee extensor RFD.
