Stiffness of individual quadriceps muscle assessed using ultrasound shear wave elastography during passive stretching

Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2018
Background: Until recently it has not been possible to isolate the mechanical behavior of individual muscles during passive stretching. Muscle shear modulus (an index of muscle stiffness) measured using ultrasound shear wave elastography can be used to ...

From muscle fibres to muscle gears: how dynamic fascicle orientation and shape change impact skeletal muscle function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle architectural design strongly affects force‐generating capacity and excursion range, and its functional importance to animal and human movement is well founded. Traditionally, this ‘structure–function relation’ has been inferred from architecture measurements with muscles at rest (from anatomical dissections or medical imaging ...

Rectus femoris tendon morphometry and practical landmarks for harvesting: A cadaveric study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To perform a qualitative and quantitative cadaveric analysis of the rectus femoris (RF) tendon to determine its suitability as a standalone autograft for knee ligament reconstruction and to identify consistent anatomical landmarks for safe and reproducible harvest.

Sport participation after isolated distal femoral osteotomy in young patients: High return‐to‐sport rates and predictive role of preoperative activity level

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The present study aimed to assess return to sport (RTS) rate, activity level and return to work (RTW) in young, physically active patients who underwent isolated distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) for lateral knee pain and valgus malalignment.

Current concepts in isolated and combined injuries of the medial collateral ligament complex—Part I: Anatomy, biomechanics, clinical and radiological examination of the medial collateral ligament of the knee

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Injuries involving the medial collateral ligament (MCL), or combined injuries to both the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and MCL, are common and present considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Better understanding of MCL anatomy and biomechanics, especially in combined ACL–MCL injuries, has driven the need for updated clinical ...

Therapeutic uses of surface electromyography for rehabilitation: An emerging tool across clinical applications

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface electromyography (EMG) is a noninvasive technology that detects voluntary muscle activation and has emerged as a valuable tool for neuromuscular assessment and rehabilitation. By using surface electrodes placed over targeted muscle groups, EMG enables the detection of muscle activity without the discomfort associated with invasive ...

Is muscle activation diverse in females with isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis contrasted with age-matched healthy controls during stair descent task?

Frontiers in Physiology
Background: Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PF OA) is exceptionally predominant and limiting. However, little is known about the risk factors that contribute to its onset and progression.Purpose: The aim of this study was to decide if women with PF OA ...

Desmin is not ubiquitously expressed in head and neck muscle fibers

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Desmin is not ubiquitously expressed in human head and neck muscle fibers. A subset of fibers showed absent or very weak desmin immunoreactivity, with corresponding reduction or absence of desmin mRNA expression. Abstract Desmin, a major muscle‐specific intermediate filament protein, is widely regarded as a ubiquitous component of mature skeletal ...
