The paper investigates how neural drive to the tibialis anterior changes after stretch or shortening contractions, finding differences in EMG amplitude and discharge rates at different contraction intensities.

This paper introduces a 3D ultrasound tractography method to accurately reconstruct muscle fascicles in vivo, showing improved accuracy compared to diffusion tensor imaging.

This study investigates whether cortical or spinal excitability changes contribute to improved stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) performance, finding no significant associations and suggesting mechanical factors are more influential.

UltraTimTrack improves fascicle tracking in ultrasound images by combining Kalman filters with existing algorithms, reducing noise and drift across conditions.

This study evaluates an upper-limb exoskeleton's effectiveness in reducing shoulder muscle activity across a large shoulder workspace, finding reduced deltoid activity and trade-offs in user comfort with increased support.

This study investigates whether fascicle stretch during partial muscle deactivation enhances neuromechanical output in the tibialis anterior, finding no significant effect on muscle activity but reduced torque steadiness after large stretch amplitudes.

This study shows that eccentric exercise involves fascicle-level shortening-stretch contractions rather than isolated eccentric contractions, with pre-activation affecting fascicle kinematics and work.

This study investigates the relationship between residual force depression and muscle work during voluntary dorsiflexion contractions, finding that rFD is linearly related to MTU work but not fascicle work.

This study investigates whether corticospinal excitability changes during residual force enhancement and finds no significant differences between stretch-hold and fixed-end contractions.
