This study uses Hill-type muscle modeling to predict optimal parameters for maximizing average mechanical power output during stretch-shortening cycles in rat medial gastrocnemius muscle.

This study examines how lumbar disc injury and muscle-derived nociception affect trunk motor control in rats during locomotion, finding localized neuromuscular adaptations without disrupting global movement patterns.

This study compares neural control of plantar flexors during gait between individuals with knee flexion contracture and controls, finding increased neural drive and common input in the chronic group despite similar knee motion.

This paper reviews in vivo animal studies on intervertebral disc injury, finding significant mechanical and morphological changes, with Youngs modulus as a sensitive marker of degeneration.

This study establishes a rat model of lumbar spine instability through intervertebral disc injury and evaluates musculature adaptations.

This study examines how balance improves in older adults after one and ten balance training sessions, finding rapid gains in robustness but slower performance improvements and no significant changes in reflexes or co-contraction.
