DOI: 10.1007/s10439-018-1979-9
Abstract: Stair descent (SD) is a common, difficult task for populations who are elderly or have orthopaedic pathologies. Joint torques of young, healthy populations during SD increase at the hip and ankle with increasing speed but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2018.09.007
Abstract: Improper activation of the quadriceps muscles vastus medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis (VL) has been implicated in the development of patellofemoral pain (PFP). This explanation of PFP assumes that VM and VL produce opposing mediolateral… read more here.

Patella tendon moment arm function considerations for human vastus lateralis force estimates.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of biomechanics"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2019.01.042
Abstract: In vivo muscle forces are typically estimated using literature-based or subject-specific moment arms (MAs) because it is not possible to measure in vivo muscle forces non-invasively. However, even subject-specific muscle-tendon MAs vary across contraction levels… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-92387-6
Abstract: 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 ImageJ script (named “ACSAuto”) for quantifying the ACSA of lower limb muscles. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17461391.2022.2119434
Abstract: A rowing cycle is characterized by a stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) at the quadriceps femoris muscle-tendon unit (MTU) level. However, due to the associated decoupling between MTU and muscle fascicle length changes, it remains unclear whether… read more here.
