Research findings from Bogazici University, Biomedical Engineering Institute update understanding of life sciences

Investigators publish new data in the report 'Epimuscular myofascial force transmission occurs in the rat between the deep flexor muscles and their antagonistic muscles.' "The goal of the present study was to test the hypothesis that epimuscular myofascial force transmission occurs between deep flexor muscles of the rat and their antagonists: previously unstudied mechanical effects of length changes of deep flexors on the anterior crural muscles (i.e., extensor digitorum longus (EDL), as well as tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus muscle complex (TA+EHL) and peroneal (PER) muscles were assessed experimentally. These muscles or muscle groups were kept at constant length, whereas,...
