Mechanical effect of rat flexor carpi ulnaris muscle after tendon transfer: does it generate a wrist extension moment?Huub Maas
Research Institute MOVE, Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, VU University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Appl Physiol 112:607-14. 2012..We conclude that mechanical effects of a muscle after tendon transfer to an antagonistic site can be quite different from those predicted based solely on the sign of the new moment arm at the joint...- Effects of tendon and muscle belly dissection on muscular force transmission following tendon transfer in the ratHuub Maas
Research Institute MOVE, Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, VU University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Biomech 45:289-96. 2012..We conclude that scar tissue limits the force transmission from transferred FCU muscle via the tendon of insertion to the skeleton, but that some myofascial connectivity of the muscle should be classified as physiological...

School of Applied Physiology, Center for Human Movement Studies, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
J Appl Physiol 106:1169-80. 2009..It was further suggested that the potential role of length feedback from muscle spindles is both task and muscle dependent... - Are skeletal muscles independent actuators? Force transmission from soleus muscle in the catHuub Maas
Research Institute MOVE, Faculty of Human Movement Sciences, VU Univ Amsterdam, Van der Boechorststraat 9, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Appl Physiol 104:1557-67. 2008..Thus, within the experimental conditions of the present study, the intact cat soleus muscle appears to act mechanically as an independent actuator... 
Mechanisms causing effects of muscle position on proximo-distal muscle force differences in extra-muscular myofascial force transmissionCan A Yucesoy

Center for Human Movement Studies, School of Applied Physiology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA
Cells Tissues Organs 181:38-50. 2005..It is concluded that mechanical interaction between synergists originates from both intermuscular as well as extramuscular connective tissues. The highest contribution, however, should be ascribed to the extramuscular pathway... - The effects of self-reinnervation of cat medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles on hindlimb kinematics in slope walkingHuub Maas
School of Applied Physiology, Center for Human Movement Studies, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA
Exp Brain Res 181:377-93. 2007..Full recovery of hindlimb kinematics during level and upslope walking suggests that the proprioceptive loss is compensated by other sensory sources (e.g. cutaneous receptors) or altered central drive... - Myofascial force transmission between a single muscle head and adjacent tissues: length effects of head III of rat EDLHuub Maas
Instituut voor Fundamentele en Klinische Bewegingswetenschappen, Faculteit Bewegingswetenschappen, Vrije Universiteit, 1081 BT Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Appl Physiol 95:2004-13. 2003..42 N). Therefore, a substantial fraction of this force must originate from sources other than EDL III. It is concluded that myofascial pathways play an important role in force transmission from multitendoned muscles... - Compartmental fasciotomy and isolating a muscle from neighboring muscles interfere with myofascial force transmission within the rat anterior crural compartmentPeter A Huijing

Eur J Appl Physiol 94:584-92. 2005..These results are explained in terms of force transmission between the muscle belly of EDL III and adjacent tissues. Thus, also in dynamic muscle conditions, muscle fiber force is transmitted via myofascial pathways... - Controlled intermittent shortening contractions of a muscle-tendon complex: muscle fibre damage and effects on force transmission from a single head of rat EDLHuub Maas
