electromyography

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    In vivo force–length and activation dynamics of two distal rat hindlimb muscles in relation to gait and grade
    Carolyn M. Eng, Nicolai Konow, Chris Tijs, Natalie C. Holt, Andrew A. Biewener
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb205559 doi: 10.1242/jeb.205559 Published 18 December 2019

    Summary: Similar to the patterns observed in larger animals, distal rat muscles favor economy and show limited fascicle strains across gaits and grades.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Motor control of an insect leg during level and incline walking
    Chris J. Dallmann, Volker Dürr, Josef Schmitz
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2019 222: jeb188748 doi: 10.1242/jeb.188748 Published 3 April 2019

    Highlighted Article: In stick insect hindlegs, muscle activity is adjusted to different mechanical demands during walking, primarily early in stance. Adjustments strongly affect forces/torques but not kinematics and suggest step-by-step control.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Neuromechanical coupling within the human triceps surae and its consequence on individual force-sharing strategies
    Marion Crouzier, Lilian Lacourpaille, Antoine Nordez, Kylie Tucker, François Hug
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb187260 doi: 10.1242/jeb.187260 Published 5 November 2018

    Summary: The greater the force-generating capacity of the medial compared with the lateral gastrocnemius, the stronger the bias of activation to the medial gastrocnemius. This coupling leads to a force imbalance between synergist muscles, the magnitude of which varies greatly between individuals.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Neuromuscular control of locomotion is altered by tail autotomy in geckos
    Kevin Jagnandan, Timothy E. Higham
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb179564 doi: 10.1242/jeb.179564 Published 17 September 2018

    Summary: Motor control of locomotor muscles in geckos changes in response to altered demands that occur with tail autotomy, demonstrating the complex relationship between muscle function and locomotion.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Fin and body neuromuscular coordination changes during walking and swimming in Polypterus senegalus
    Kathleen L. Foster, Misha Dhuper, Emily M. Standen
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb168716 doi: 10.1242/jeb.168716 Published 3 September 2018

    Summary: Polypterus senegalus use intermittent high-intensity activity of fin and mid-body muscles during walking compared with more constant, moderate-intensity activity of all muscles during swimming.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Crawling without wiggling: muscular mechanisms and kinematics of rectilinear locomotion in boa constrictors
    Steven J. Newman, Bruce C. Jayne
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2018 221: jeb166199 doi: 10.1242/jeb.166199 Published 22 February 2018

    Summary: Unlike most limbless vertebrates, snakes can propel themselves without bending their long axis because of muscles that both move the skin relative to the underlying skeleton and modulate skin stiffness.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Neuromuscular mechanisms of an elaborate wing display in the golden-collared manakin (Manacus vitellinus)
    Matthew J. Fuxjager, Leonida Fusani, Franz Goller, Lisa Trost, Andries Ter Maat, Manfred Gahr, Ioana Chiver, R. Miller Ligon IV, Jennifer Chew, Barney A. Schlinger
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4681-4688; doi: 10.1242/jeb.167270

    Summary: We pinpoint the main skeletal muscles associated with the production of an elaborate gestural courtship display in a tropical bird, the golden-collared manakin.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Lower limb biomechanical analysis during an unanticipated step on a bump reveals specific adaptations of walking on uneven terrains
    Fausto A. Panizzolo, Sangjun Lee, Taira Miyatake, Denise Martineli Rossi, Christopher Siviy, Jozefien Speeckaert, Ignacio Galiana, Conor J. Walsh
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4169-4176; doi: 10.1242/jeb.161158

    Summary: Investigation of an unanticipated step on uneven ground reveals two distinct adaptive strategies: an ankle-based strategy when stepping with the forefoot, and a hip-based strategy when stepping with the rearfoot.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    Function of the hypobranchial muscles and hyoidiomandibular ligament during suction capture and bite processing in white-spotted bamboo sharks, Chiloscyllium plagiosum
    Jason B. Ramsay, Cheryl D. Wilga
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 4047-4059; doi: 10.1242/jeb.165290

    Summary: Hypobranchial muscles of bamboo sharks allow for storage and release of elastic strain energy during suction feeding, which is facilitated by a four-bar linkage that links jaw and hyoid depression.

  • RESEARCH ARTICLE
    The nervous system does not compensate for an acute change in the balance of passive force between synergist muscles
    Lilian Lacourpaille, Antoine Nordez, François Hug
    Journal of Experimental Biology 2017 220: 3455-3463; doi: 10.1242/jeb.163303

    Summary: Force sharing between the three heads of the triceps surae during submaximal contractions changes as a function of ankle angle, and the magnitude of this change is individual specific.
