Skeletal muscles' primary function in the body is mechanical: to move and stabilize the
skeleton. As such, their mechanical behavior is a key aspect of their physiology. Recent …

Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are a common occurrence in athletics and complicated by
limited prognostic indicators and high rates of reinjury. Assessment of injury characteristics …

Eccentric and concentric actions produce distinct mechanical stimuli and result in different
adaptations in skeletal muscle architecture. Cycling predominantly involves concentric …

A skeletal muscle's function is strongly influenced by the internal organization and geometric
properties of its fibers, a property known as muscle architecture. Diffusion-tensor magnetic …

A muscle's architecture, described by geometric variables such as fascicle pennation angles
or lengths, plays a crucial role in its functionality. Usually, single parameters are used to …

Integrated diffusion tensor T2 measurements were made on normal and edematous rat
muscle, and the data were fitted with one‐and two‐compartment models, respectively …

Magnetic resonance imaging techniques have literally revolutionized neuroimaging with an
unprecedented ability to explore tissue structure and function. Over the last three decades …

Diffusion-tensor MRI fiber tractography has been used to reconstruct skeletal muscle
architecture, but remains a specialized technique using custom-written data processing …

Genetic modifiers alter disease progression in both preclinical models and subjects with
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Using multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) …

Human surrogates are representations of living human structures employed to replicate" real-
life" injurious scenarios in artificial environments. They are used primarily to evaluate …
