Passive mechanical properties of human gastrocnemius muscle-tendon units
Background The passive mechanical properties of skeletal muscletendon units are important because they determine the amount of motion available at joints. Human gastrocnemius muscle-tendon units are of particular interest because this muscle is prone to develop contractures, may have a role in lower limb overuse injuries, and is a common site of muscle tears. This workshop provides an introduct...
متن کامل"sensory Partitioning" of the Cat Medial Gastrocnemius Muscle by Muscle Spindles and Tendon Organs
It has been proposed that muscle spindles and tendon organs generate a "sensory partitioning" of their parent muscle's motor unit population by monitoring localized length-tension perturbations re sulting from the activity of a select niimber of motor units, in addi tion to responding to more global whole muscle parameters. The main aim of the present study was to test this hypothesis and exa...
متن کاملThe anatomy of the medial part of the knee.
BACKGROUND While the anatomy of the medial part of the knee has been described qualitatively, quantitative descriptions of the attachment sites of the main medial knee structures have not been reported. The purpose of the present study was to verify the qualitative anatomy of medial knee structures and to perform a quantitative evaluation of their anatomic attachment sites as well as their rela...
متن کاملElectromyographic Activity of the Medial Gastrocnemius and Lateral Gastrocnemius Muscle during Salat-s and Specific Exercise
This paper investigates the activity of the gastrocnemius (Gas) muscle in healthy subjects during salat (ruku’ position) and specific exercise [Unilateral Plantar Flexion Exercise (UPFE)] using electromyography (EMG). Both lateral and medial Gas muscles were assessed. A group of undergraduates aged between 19 to 25 years voluntarily participated in this study. The myoelectric activity of the mu...
متن کاملPassive mechanical properties of human gastrocnemius muscle tendon units, muscle fascicles and tendons in vivo.
This study provides the first in vivo measures of the passive length-tension properties of relaxed human muscle fascicles and their tendons. A new method was used to derive passive length-tension properties of human gastrocnemius muscle-tendon units from measures of ankle stiffness obtained at a range of knee angles. Passive length-tension curves of the muscle-tendon unit were then combined wit...
