Effect of Increased Flexor Hallucis Longus Muscle Activity on Ground Reaction Force during Landing

Effect of Increased Flexor Hallucis Longus Muscle Activity on Ground Reaction Force during Landing

Repeated high-impact ground forces can lead to injury and decreased performance. While increasing flexor hallucis longus (FHL) muscle activity is known to increase stiffness and elasticity, it is unknown if this also decreases ground reaction forces by shock absorption during landing. This study aim...
