B-mode ultrasound is often used to quantify muscle architecture during movements. Our
objectives were to 1) systematically review the reliability of fascicle length (FL) and …

Lower limb exoskeletons and exosuits (“exos”) are traditionally designed with a strong focus
on mechatronics and actuation, whereas the “human side” is often disregarded or minimally …

Assessment of regional muscle architecture is primarily done through the study of animals,
human cadavers, or using b‐mode ultrasound imaging. However, there remain several …

Background Improving the prediction ability of a human-machine interface (HMI) is critical to
accomplish a bio-inspired or model-based control strategy for rehabilitation interventions …

This parallel‐group randomized controlled trial investigated the effect of concurrent strength
and endurance (CSE) training on running performance, biomechanics, and muscle activity …

Jaw-muscle architecture is a key determinant of jaw movements and bite force. While static
length-force and force-velocity relationships are well documented in mammals, architecture …

Open-access scripts to perform muscle anatomical cross-sectional area (ACSA) evaluation
in ultrasound images are currently unavailable. This study presents a novel semi-automatic …

Contractions of skeletal muscles to generate in vivo movement involve dynamic changes in
contractile and elastic tissue strains that likely interact to influence the force and work of a …

The image obtained by static ultrasonography (US), despite being a validated measure to
identify muscle thickness (MT), has a visualization capacity limited by the size of the …

Skeletal muscles change shape when they contract. Current insights into the effects of
shape change on muscle function have primarily come from experiments on isolated …
