Abstract:
The mechanics, morphometry, and geometry of our joints, segments, and muscles are fundamental biomechanical properties intrinsic to human neural control. The goal of our study was to investigate whether the biomechanical actions of individual neck muscles predict their neural control. Specifically, we compared the moment direction and variability produced by electrical stimulation of a neck muscle (biomechanics) to the preferred activation direction and variability (neural control). Subjects sat upright with their head fixed to a six-axis load cell and their torso restrained. Indwelling wire e

Abstract:
Spasticity, contracture, and muscle weakness are commonly observed poststroke in muscles crossing the ankle. However, it is not clear how biomechanical properties of the Achilles tendon change poststroke, which may affect functions of the impaired muscles directly. Biomechanical properties of the Achilles tendon, including the length and cross-sectional area, in the impaired and unimpaired sides of 10 hemiparetic stroke survivors were evaluated using ultrasonography. Elongation of the Achilles tendon during controlled isometric ramp-and-hold and ramping up then down contractions was determined

Muscular dystrophy is a disease characterized by skeletal muscle weakness and wasting, but little is known of alterations in the vascular system that occur with this disease. The culprit in many muscular dystrophies is a defective dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC). The DGC is a group of transmembrane proteins that connects the cytoskeleton of muscle cells to the extracellular matrix; it plays a role in mechanotransduction and the maintenance of structural integrity of these cells, and includes the proteins dystrophin and sarcoglycan-delta.

Abstract:
The function of ureter is to transport the urine from the kidney to the urinary bladder. Ureteral peristalsis, the principal motor event that propels urine along the ureter, is the result of coordinated contractions of longitudinal and circular smooth muscle inside the organ wall. Alterations of static and dynamic biomechanical properties of the ureteral wall lead to pathological states compromising regular urine transportation to bladder. Although knowledge on ureteral motility has advanced considerably, the molecular contractile mechanism of ureteral smooth muscle cells is not fully understo

Abstract:
Animal locomotion depends on the organization, physiology and biomechanical properties of muscles and skeletons. Musculoskeletal systems encompass the mechanical interactions of muscles and skeletal elements that ultimately transmit force for movement and support. Muscles not only perform work by contracting and shortening to generate force, they can also operate as brakes to slow the whole body or a single appendage. Muscles can also function as struts (rod-like) to maintain the position of a joint and facilitate elastic energy storage and recovery. Skeletal muscles share a basic organization

Abstract:
Multiple urinary bladder wall (UBW) pathologies, such as overactive bladder, bladder outlet obstruction, spinal cord injury (SCI) and related neurogenic disorders, and diabetes result in tissue remodeling marked by hypertrophic bladder smooth muscle cells (BSMC) and altered extra-cellular matrix components. This remodeling results in changes in UBW biomechanical properties leading to altered bladder function. Our previous studies have revealed that during the initial areflexic phase of SCI the UBW undergoes profound remodeling that appears to be a compensatory mechanism for the increased wall

Abstract:
This paper presents the analysis of a third-order linear differential equation representing a muscle-tendon system, including the identification of critical damping conditions. We analytically verified that this model is required for a faithful representation of muscle-skeletal muscles and provided numerical examples using the biomechanical properties of muscles and tendon reported in the literature. We proved the existence of a theoretical threshold for the ratio between tendon and muscle stiffness above which critical damping can never be achieved, thus resulting in an oscillatory free respo

Abstract:
Tendons and ligaments are uniaxial viscoelastic connective tissues and, during normal activity, tendons transmit forces from muscles to bones, while ligaments stabilize the joints. Many experiments have been carried out to study ligaments and tendons mechanical properties [1], and the effects of training protocols [2] or specific pathologies. Recently, different transgenic mice models have been proposed as a new way to study in depth tendons’ function and development [3]. Within this context, we made use of pathological and transgenic animal models to investigate the morpho-functional interact
