The fascicular architecture of skeletal muscle dictates functional parameters such as force
production and contractile velocity. Muscle microarchitecture is typically determined by …

The organization and length of a muscle's fascicles imparts its contractile properties. Longer
fascicles permit increased muscle excursion, whereas changes in fascicle orientation relate …

Skeletal muscle models are used to investigate motion and force generation in both
biological and bioengineering research. Yet, they often lack a realistic representation of the …

In the last decade, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been used increasingly to investigate
three‐dimensional (3 D) muscle architectures. So far there is no study that has proved the …

Skeletal muscle is responsible for voluntary force generation across animals, and muscle
architecture largely determines the parameters of mechanical output. The ability to analyze …

New imaging and biomechanical approaches have heralded a renaissance in our
understanding of crocodylian anatomy. Here, we review a series of approaches in the …

Skeletal muscle architecture significantly influences the performance capacity of a muscle. A
DTI-based method has been recently considered as a new reference standard to validate …

For detailed analyses of muscle adaptation mechanisms during growth, ageing or disease,
reliable measurements of muscle architecture are required. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) …

In vivo measurements of muscle architecture provide insight into inter-individual differences
in muscle function and could be used to personalise musculoskeletal models. When muscle …

Medical imaging is of particular interest in the field of translational myology, as extant
literature describes the utilization of a wide variety of techniques to non-invasively …
