BACKGROUND: This review summarizes the effects of bilateral asymmetry on running and
cycling performance and risk of injury in healthy subjects and the influence of leg …

This review describes how computational modeling can be combined with noninvasive gait
measurements to describe and explain muscle and joint function in human locomotion. Five …

Objectives Quadriceps weakness persists after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Muscle atrophy and activation failure may contribute. This study examined the roles of …

Computer models of the musculoskeletal system are broadly used to study the mechanisms
of musculoskeletal disorders and to simulate surgical treatments. Musculoskeletal models …

Hill-type muscle models are commonly used in musculoskeletal models to estimate muscle
forces during human movement. However, the sensitivity of model predictions of muscle …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether it is possible to predict the
individual muscle volumes within the triceps surae (TS) muscle group by means of easily …

Background Very few studies examining the predisposing anatomical factors leading to
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have examined the ACL itself, and none of these …

Sprint runners achieve much higher gait velocities and accelerations than average humans,
due in part to large forces generated by their lower limb muscles. Various factors have been …

OBJECTIVE: To develop a valid and reliable clinical performance measure of foot
dominance. DESIGN: Prospective cross-sectional study with repeated measures. SETTING …

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess muscle torque, total volume, and cross-
sectional area, and lower limb function of the quadriceps muscle in women with unilateral …
