An automatic fascicle tracking algorithm quantifying gastrocnemius architecture during maximal effort contractions

Background Ultrasound has become a commonly used imaging modality for making dynamic measurements of muscle structure during functional movements in biomechanical studies. Manual measurements of fascicle length and pennation angle are time intensive which limits the clinical utility of this approach...
