Skeletal muscle structural assembly (and its remodeling in response to loading–unloading
states) can be investigated macroscopically by assessing muscle architecture, described as …

Skeletal muscle is the engine that powers what is arguably the most essential and defining
feature of human and animal life—locomotion. Muscles function to change length and …

Surface electromyographic (EMG) signal amplitude is typically used to compare the neural
drive to muscles. We experimentally investigated this association by studying the motor unit …

Background Eccentric exercise increases muscle fascicle lengths; however, the
mechanisms behind this adaptation are still unknown. This study aimed to determine …

PURPOSE To compare biceps femoris long-head (BFlh) fascicle lengths (Lfs) obtained with
different ultrasound-based approaches: 1) single ultrasound images and linear Lf …

Cross talk is an important source of error in interpreting surface electromyography (EMG)
signals. Here, we aimed at characterizing cross talk for three groups of synergistic muscles …

Although it is known that the muscle activation patterns used to produce even simple
movements can vary between individuals, these differences have not been considered to …

Little is known about the factors that influence the coordination of synergist muscles that act
across the same joint, even during single-joint isometric tasks. The overall aim of this study …

The interindividual variability in the neural drive sent from the spinal cord to muscles is
largely unknown, even during highly constrained motor tasks. Here, we investigated …

The torque-sharing strategies between synergistic muscles may have important functional
consequences. This study involved two experiments. The first experiment (n= 22) aimed 1) …
