Abstract Manned space exploration to distant destinations, including Mars, continues to be an aspiration of humankind. Space travel does, however, present many challenges to the body, amongst which adaptation to microgravity is perhaps the largest. For instance, both short and long manned spaceflight missions have shown substantial deleterious effects ...

Optimization of MRI measurements of calf muscle atrophy following acute Achilles tendon rupture
Objective: Investigate whether single slice cross- sectional area (CSA) measurement could be used as a surrogate for volumetric measurement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating calf muscle atrophy after Achilles tendon rupture (ATR).

Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Functional Differences in Muscle Architecture Across the Pelvis and Hind Limb of Primates
ABSTRACT Objectives Understanding the architectural diversity of primate musculature is essential for interpreting locomotor function and reconstructing evolutionary adaptations. This study examines whether interspecific differences in pelvic and hind limb muscle architecture reflect functional differentiation among major muscle groups.

ABSTRACT In unusual lesions of the Achilles Tendon, clinicians should be aware to perform an effective surgical technique aimed to restore anatomy and function. Medical history of the patients is crucial for understanding the type of traumatic mechanism. Unusual traumatic mechanisms may also present an unconventional injury pattern to repair.

Myofascial trigger points in the triceps surae
Background: Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) have been cited as a cause of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. There is a paucity of evidence in the lower limb and specifically the triceps surae for the prevalence of MTrPs and efficacy of targeted ...
