Skeletal muscles are length-and velocity-sensitive force producers, constructed of a vast
array of sarcomeres. Muscles come in a variety of sizes and shapes to accomplish a wide …

Driven by increasing numbers of newly identified genetic defects and new insights into the
field of inherited muscle diseases, neuromuscular imaging in general and magnetic …

The relationship between muscle structure and function has been a matter of investigation
since the Renaissance period. Extensive use of anatomical dissections and the introduction …

Computer models of the musculoskeletal system are broadly used to study the mechanisms
of musculoskeletal disorders and to simulate surgical treatments. Musculoskeletal models …

In addition to its size and the extent of its neural activation, a muscle's geometry (the angles
and lengths of its fibres or fascicles) strongly influences its force production characteristics …

We illustrate here microCT images in which contrast between muscle and connective tissue
has been achieved by means of staining with iodine. Enhancement is shown to be …

Purpose To explore the capability and reliability of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance
imaging (DTI) in the evaluation of human skeletal muscle injury. Materials and Methods DTI …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether it is possible to predict the
individual muscle volumes within the triceps surae (TS) muscle group by means of easily …

In this study, we have performed simulations to address the effects of diffusion encoding
parameters, signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) and T2 on skeletal muscle diffusion tensor indices …

The mechanical functions of muscles involve the generation of force and the actuation of
movement by shortening or lengthening under load. These functions are influenced, in part …
