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.

Abstract: The length of a muscle's moment arm can be estimated noninvasively using ultrasound and the tendon excursion method. The main assumption with the tendon excursion method is that the force acting on the tendon during… read more here.

DOI: 10.1142/s2424835521500648
Abstract: Background: Flexor tendon rehabilitation protocols minimize repair tension by limiting range of movement to prevent tendon rupture. The resultant muscle contracture inhibits finger extension, increases resistance in tendon gliding distally, and progress to proximal interphalangeal… read more here.
