Specific force of the vastus lateralis in adults with achondroplasia [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2018 Achondroplasia is a clinical condition defined by shorter stature and disproportionate limb length. Force production in able-bodied individuals (controls) is proportional to muscle size, but given the disproportionate nature of achondroplasia, normalizing to anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA) is inappropriate.
