Three‐dimensional architecture of human medial gastrocnemius fascicles in vivo: Regional variation and its dependence on muscle size
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Anatomy"
DOI: 10.1111/joa.13750
Abstract: Fascicle architecture (length and pennation angle) can vary regionally within a muscle. The architectural variability in human muscles has been evaluated in vivo, but the interindividual variation and its determinants remain unclear. Considering that within‐muscle… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2020/9536362
Abstract: Background Tracking progression of diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (DPN) is usually focused on sensory nerves and subjective testing methods. Recent studies have suggested that distal muscle atrophy may precede sensation loss. Methods to objectively measure distal… read more here.
