DOI: 10.1007/s00276-021-02738-1
Abstract: Semitendinosus and gracilis muscles whose tendons are used in surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament maintain their contractile ability, but the peak torque angle of hamstring muscles shifted to a shallow angle postoperatively. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2018.06.020
Abstract: Geometric and tendon excursion methods have both been used extensively for estimating plantarflexor muscle moment arm in vivo. Geometric measures often utilize magnetic resonance imaging, which can be costly and impractical for many investigations. Estimating… read more here.
