Functional and architectural complexity within and between muscles: regional variation and intermuscular force transmission
(The Royal Society, 2011)Over the past 30 years, studies of single muscles have revealed complex patterns of regional variation in muscle architecture, activation, strain and force. In addition, muscles are often functionally integrated with other ... -
Trabecular Bone in the Bird Knee Responds with High Sensitivity to Changes in Load Orientation
(Company of Biologists, 2006)Wolff’s law of trajectorial orientation proposes that trabecular struts align with the orientation of dominant compressive loads within a joint. Although widely considered in skeletal biology, Wolff’s law has never been ... -
Tuning of feedforward control enables stable muscle force-length dynamics after loss of autogenic proprioceptive feedback
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2019-11-25)Animals must integrate feedforward, feedback and intrinsic mechanical control mechanisms to maintain stable locomotion. Recent studies of guinea fowl (Numida meleagris) revealed that the distal leg muscles rapidly modulate ...
