Mechanical and neural function of triceps surae in elite racewalking [PDF]
, 2016 Racewalking is a unique event combining mechanical elements of walking with speeds associated with running. It is currently unclear how racewalking technique impacts upon lower limb muscle-tendon function, despite the relevance of this to muscle economy ...

Muscles adaptation to aging and training: architectural changes – a randomised trial
BMC Geriatrics, 2021 Background To investigate how anatomical cross-sectional area and volume of quadriceps and triceps surae muscles were affected by ageing, and by resistance training in older and younger men, in vivo. Methods The old participants were randomly assigned to

Slower Walking Speed in Older Men Improves Triceps Surae Force Generation Ability [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose: Older adults walk slower than young adults, but it is not known why. Previous research suggests that ankle plantarflexors may have a crucial role in the reduction of walking speed.

Wrinkle sign for the Silfverskiöld test
Journal of the Foot & Ankle, 2021 Shortening of the triceps surae is evaluated using the Silfverskiöld test. The increase in dorsiflexion with the knee in flexion compared to the knee in extension makes the test positive.

Plantar flexor muscle size, composition and strength and the redistribution of joint work in gait of healthy older adults [PDF]
PeerJBackground Older adults have altered gait mechanics that may contribute to mobility loss. These changes are suggested to be precipitated by decreased mechanical output from the ankle plantar flexor muscles.

The functional role of the triceps surae muscle during human locomotion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 AimDespite numerous studies addressing the issue, it remains unclear whether the triceps surae muscle group generates forward propulsive force during gait, commonly identified as 'push-off'.
