Abstract Existing “off-the-shelf” musculoskeletal models are problematic when simulating
movements that involve substantial hip and knee flexion, such as the upstroke of pedalling …

Ultrasound imaging is relatively inexpensive, does not involve ionising radiation, and
requires much shorter scan times compared with other imaging modalities such as magnetic …

Aim This study investigates the in vivo function of the medial gastrocnemius and soleus
muscle‐tendon units (MTU), fascicles, and tendons during walking in children with cerebral …

No data are available to describe six‐degree‐of‐freedom (6‐DOF) knee‐joint kinematics for
one complete cycle of overground walking following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aims …

Data about a muscle's fibre pennation angle and physiological cross-sectional area are
used in musculoskeletal modelling to estimate muscle forces, which are used to calculate …

Purpose In many sports, athletes have a preferred leg for sport-specific tasks, such as
jumping, which leads to strength differences between both legs, yet the underlying changes …

In hemiplegic gait the paretic lower limb provides less muscle power and shows a briefer
stance compared with the unaffected limb. Yet, a longer stance and a higher power can be …

It remains to be determined whether running training influences the amplitude of lower limb
muscle activations before and during the first half of stance and whether such changes are …

Ankle plantar flexor muscles support and propel the body in the stance phase of locomotion.
Besides the triceps surae, flexor hallucis longus muscle (FHL) may also contribute to this …

This study was conducted to determine and compare the fascicle behaviour during forward
lunge exercise with different loadings lifted. Thirty recreationally active, untrained men …
