The size and arrangement of fibres play a determinate role in the kinetic and energetic
performance of muscles. Extrapolations between fibre architecture and performance …

Many neuromuscular disorders can have a differential impact on a specific myofibre type,
forming the central premise of this review. The many different skeletal muscles in mammals …

To understand how an extinct species may have moved, we first need to reconstruct the
missing soft tissues of the skeleton, which rarely preserve, with an understanding of …

Across the human body, skeletal muscles have a broad range of biomechanical roles that
employ complex proprioceptive control strategies to successfully execute a desired …

Walking on compliant substrates requires more energy than walking on hard substrates but
the biomechanical factors that contribute to this increase are debated. Previous studies …

Muscle-driven simulations have been widely adopted to study muscle-tendon behavior;
several generic musculoskeletal models have been developed, and their biofidelity …

Understanding the sources of error is critical before models of the musculoskeletal system
can be usefully translated. Using in vivo measured tibiofemoral forces, the impact of …

Muscle spindle abundance is highly variable within and across species, but we currently
lack any clear picture of the mechanistic causes or consequences of this variation. Previous …

Biomechanical modelling is a powerful tool for quantifying the evolution of functional
performance in extinct animals to understand key anatomical innovations and selective …

Musculoskeletal models are valuable for studying and understanding the human body in a
variety of clinical applications that include surgical planning, injury prevention, and …
