Muscle force is determined also by muscle relative position: isolated effects.
Effects on force of changes of the position of extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) relative to surrounding tissues were investigated in rat. Connective tissue at the muscle bellies of tibialis anterior (TA), extensor hallucis longus (EHL) and EDL was left intact, to allow myofascial force transmission. The position of EDL muscle was altered, without changing EDL muscle-tendon complex length,...
متن کاملMyofascial force transmission: muscle relative position and length determine agonist and synergist muscle force.
Equal proximal and distal lengthening of rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) were studied. Tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and EDL were active maximally. The connective tissues around these muscle bellies were left intact. Proximal EDL forces differed from distal forces, indicating myofascial force transmission to structures other than the tendons. Higher EDL distal force was exert...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle attenuation determined by computed tomography is associated with skeletal muscle lipid content.
The purpose of this investigation was to validate that in vivo measurement of skeletal muscle attenuation (MA) with computed tomography (CT) is associated with muscle lipid content. Single-slice CT scans performed on phantoms of varying lipid concentrations revealed good concordance between attenuation and lipid concentration (r(2) = 0.995); increasing the phantom's lipid concentration by 1 g/1...
متن کاملIs Abdominal Muscle Activity Different from Lumbar Muscle Activity during Four-Point Kneeling?
Background: Stabilization exercises can improve the performance of trunk and back muscles, which are effective in the prevention and treatment of low back pain. The four-point kneeling exercise is one of the most common types of stabilization exercises. This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate and compare the level of activation between abdominal and lumbar muscles in the different stage...
متن کاملForce Deficit in Neurovascular Muscle Transfer is Partially Explained by a Denervated Muscle Fiber Population
Neurovascular muscle transfer restores functional loss from injury or disease but a significant muscle force deficit results. This work determined whether atrophy and denervated muscle fibers account for this force deficit. The proximal and distal extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle tendons were transected and immediately repaired in a rat neurovascular muscle transfer model. The peroneal ne...
