Curvature of gastrocnemius muscle fascicles as function of muscle–tendon complex length and contraction in humans

Abstract It has been shown that muscle fascicle curvature increases with increasing contraction level and decreasing muscle–tendon complex length. The analyses were done with limited examination windows concerning contraction level, muscle–tendon complex length, and/or intramuscular position of ultr...
