J Neurosci
. 2015 Nov;
35(44):14708-16.
PMID: 26538643
Significance Statement: How the human nervous system coordinates activity in a large number of muscles is a fundamental question. The brain and spinal cord are believed to simplify the control...

Ultrasound Med Biol
. 2014 Dec;
41(2):610-7.
PMID: 25444690
This study evaluated reliability of measures for superficial structures of the male pelvic floor (PF) obtained via transperineal sonography. Two embalmed cadavers were dissected to identify positioning of muscles on...

. 2014 Oct;
117(11):1388-97.
PMID: 25324510
Muscle fascicles curve along their length, with the curvatures occurring around regions of high intramuscular pressure, and are necessary for mechanical stability. Fascicles are typically considered to lie in fascicle...

Asavasopon S, Rana M, Kirages D, Yani M, Fisher B, Hwang D, et al.
J Neurosci
. 2014 Oct;
34(41):13811-8.
PMID: 25297107
Human pelvic floor muscles have been shown to operate synergistically with a wide variety of muscles, which has been suggested to be an important contributor to continence and pelvic stability...

Rana M, Hamarneh G, Wakeling J
J Appl Physiol (1985)
. 2013 May;
115(1):116-25.
PMID: 23640593
The aim of this study was to determine the three-dimensional (3D) muscle fascicle architecture in human triceps surae muscles at different contraction levels and muscle lengths. Six male subjects were...

Namburete A, Rana M, Wakeling J
J Biomech
. 2011 Aug;
44(14):2538-43.
PMID: 21840006
Muscle fascicles curve during contraction, and this has been seen using B-mode ultrasound. Curvature can vary along a fascicle, and amongst the fascicles within a muscle. The purpose of this...

Rana M, Wakeling J
J Biomech
. 2011 Jun;
44(11):2129-35.
PMID: 21664617
Muscle architecture is an important parameter affecting the muscle function. Most of the previous studies on in-vivo muscle architecture have used in 2D ultrasound. The importance of the third dimension...

Wakeling J, Blake O, Wong I, Rana M, Lee S
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2011 Apr;
366(1570):1554-64.
PMID: 21502126
During muscle contractions, the muscle fascicles may shorten at a rate different from the muscle-tendon unit, and the ratio of these velocities is its gearing. Appropriate gearing allows fascicles to...

J Biomech
. 2009 Aug;
42(13):2068-73.
PMID: 19646699
B-mode ultrasound can be used to non-invasively image muscle fascicles during both static and dynamic contractions. Digitizing these muscle fascicles can be a timely and subjective process, and usually studies...
