Muscle wobbling mass dynamics: eigenfrequency dependencies on activity, impact strength, and ground material

Abstract In legged locomotion, muscles undergo damped oscillations in response to the leg contacting the ground (an impact). How muscle oscillates varies depending on the impact situation. We used a custom-made frame in which we clamped an isolated rat muscle (M. gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis...
