Sensors, 2020 Background: The mobility of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (I MPTJ) has been related to the proper windlass mechanism and the triceps surae during the heel-off phase of running gait; the orthopedic treatment of the I MPTJ restriction has been made ...

Do triceps surae muscle dynamics govern non-uniform Achilles tendon deformations? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The human Achilles tendon (AT) consists of sub-tendons arising from the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles that exhibit non-uniform tissue displacements thought to facilitate some independent actuation.

Repetitive hops induce postactivation potentiation in triceps surae as well as an increase in the jump height of subsequent maximal drop jumps. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Postactivation potentiation (PAP) has been defined as the increase in twitch torque after a conditioning contraction. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of hops as conditioning contractions to induce PAP and increase performance in ...

Considerations for Improving Triceps Surae Flexibility
, 2015 Triceps surae flexibility exercises are routinely prescribed as a component of lower extremity fitness and rehabilitation programs. Flexibility deficits, addressed without consideration of hindfoot position, may be associated with and perpetuate foot and

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is a serious lower limb injury that may result in persistent deficits in strength and endurance of the calf muscles. Compensatory mechanisms at proximal joints are known, but the effects of fatigue are less studied.

Myofascial trigger point therapy for triceps surae dysfunction: Acaseseries
, 2013 Aims: The main aim of the case series was to inform further experimental research to determine the effectiveness of myofascial trigger point (MTrP) therapy for the treatment of triceps surae dysfunction.

Risk Factors for Exercise‐Associated Muscle Cramps: A Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis
Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Exercise‐associated muscle cramps (EAMC) are common in athletic populations and are frequently cited as a factor limiting performance. Despite extensive investigation, uncertainty remains regarding the risk factors associated with EAMC.
