Impaired muscle growth precedes development of increased stiffness of the triceps surae musculotendinous unit in children with cerebral palsy

, 2018
Aim: If increased muscle stiffness and contractures in children with cerebral palsy (CP) are related to impaired muscle growth, reduced muscle growth should precede or coincide with increased muscle stiffness during development.

Impact of 14 days of head‐down bed rest and an exercise countermeasure on skeletal muscle atrophy, proteome and circulatory cytokines in older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged bed rest and immobilization have deleterious effects on skeletal muscle mass and function, especially in older adults. These can lead to reduced physical capacity and quality of life. Previous experiments in younger individuals show that exercise can mitigate these effects, but evidence remains scarce and inconclusive in older adults.

Macro‐ and microcirculatory factors affecting foot temperature change during walking

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Change in skin temperature is a complex process affected by several factors. During walking, increased microcirculatory activity, such as muscle metabolism, could increase foot temperature. The ensuing macrocirculatory responses, such as increased leg blood flow (LBF), might also increase foot temperature.

Postural control of sway dynamics on an unstable surface reduces similarity in activation patterns of synergistic lower leg muscles

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
IntroductionDiversity of activation patterns within synergistic muscles can be important for stability control in challenging conditions. This study investigates the similarity of activation patterns within the triceps surae and quadriceps femoris ...

Soleus subtendon elongation is reduced by individual suturing of Achilles subtendons after rupture

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 3783-3793, October 2026.
The findings supported the hypothesis that individually suturing soleus and gastrocnemius subtendons reduces soleus subtendon elongation by approximately 50% compared with the standard technique 1 week after Achilles tendon repair. Although both subtendons elongated over 6 months, soleus elongation remained significantly lower with individual suturing,

Comparative Triceps Surae Morphology in Primates: A Review

, 2011
Primate locomotor evolution, particularly the evolution of bipedalism, is often examined through morphological studies. Many of these studies have examined the uniqueness of the primate forelimb, and others have examined the primate hip and thigh.

The effects of proprioceptive weighting changes on posture control in patients with chronic low back pain: a cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
IntroductionPatients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) exhibit changes in proprioceptive weighting and impaired postural control. This study aimed to investigate proprioceptive weighting changes in patients with CLBP and their influence on posture ...

Muscle Massage Adding Capacitive Resistive Electric Transfer Therapy in Active or Sham Condition for Post‐Exercise Recovery in Athletes: A Crossover Clinical Trial

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing demands of elite sports reduce recovery time, impair performance, and increase injury risk. Efficient lactate transport is essential for postexercise recovery. Capacitive resistive electric transfer (CRET) therapy enhances deep tissue heating, induces vasodilation, and promotes circulation. To evaluate whether adding active CRET

Functional morphology of trabecular bone in the calcaneus of African apes

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 883-898, October 2026.
Pan exhibits significantly higher calcaneal tuberosity trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) than Gorilla, potentially reflecting higher triceps surae forces for vertical climbing. Both taxa have significantly higher Tb.Th and BV/TV in the anterior calcaneus; the difference is exaggerated in Gorilla, potentially reflecting ...
