Influence of joint position on ankle plantarflexion in humans
Abstract
The contractile properties of the triceps surae (medial and lateral gastrocnemii and soleus) have been studied in humans. In comparison with most other human muscles, the triceps complex had a slow twitch (mean contraction and half-relaxation times 112.4 +/- 11.1 and 99.6 +/- 14.4 ms, respectively) and a low tetanus fusion frequency (60 Hz). Stretching the muscle caused both the contraction and half-relaxation times to become longer. With the knee bent, the optimum length for torque development corresponded to almost full dorsiflexion of the ankle. Similar results were obtained with the knee extended. The optimum position of the ankle differed considerably from the position of the joint when the leg was at rest. Although the position of the ankle joint affected electromyographic (EMG) activity recorded during maximal voluntary contraction, there was little change in the EMG-to-M wave ratio.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
