Length-dependent changes of lower limb muscle morphology in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy assessed with magnetic resonance imaging

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2021
The objective of the present study was to assess muscle quantity of the thigh and leg in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) compared to age and sex matched controls in exploring length-dependent changes of innervated ...

The effects of 12 weeks of static stretch training on the functional, mechanical, and architectural characteristics of the triceps surae muscle–tendon complex

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2021
We investigated the effects of 12 weeks of passive static stretching training (PST) on force-generating capacity, passive stiffness, muscle architecture of plantarflexor muscles. Thirty healthy adults participated in the study. Fifteen participants (STR,

What to stretch? - Isolated proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching of either quadriceps or triceps surae followed by post-stretching activities alters tissue stiffness and jump performance

Sports Biomechanics, 2022
To overcome a possible drop in performance following longer stretch durations (>60 s), post-stretching dynamic activities (PSA) can be applied. However, it is not clear if this is true for isolated proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF ...

Quantity versus quality: Age-related differences in muscle volume, intramuscular fat, and mechanical properties in the triceps surae.

Experimental Gerontology, 2021
With aging comes reductions in the quality and size of skeletal muscle. These changes influence the force-generating capacity of skeletal muscle and contribute to movement deficits that accompany aging.

Acute effects of short-term stretching of the triceps surae on ankle mobility and gait initiation in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Clinical Biomechanics, 2021
BACKGROUND Ankle mobility is known to be of uttermost importance to generate propulsive forces and control balance during gait initiation. Impaired mobility of the postural chain occurs with normal ageing and is exacerbated in patients with Parkinson's ...

Comparative Efficiency of Muscle Energy Technique and Static Stretching in Enhancing Triceps Surae Flexibility [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2018
Introduction: Flexibility is termed as resilience and painless extensibility of a joint. The reduced flexibility will lead to decreased performance and results in abnormal coordination of movements. To prevent such damages, there are number of treatments
