mu Another explanation of the inconsistent fascicle length results is that many reports include fascicle lengths measured only at one angle such that comparisons may be between muscles that are at different lengths. Thus, reporting strain over range of motion or over a dynamic task is more informat...

A modified semi-quantitative PD grading scale of 0–4 [31] was used, and the highest PD score was taken as the overall score for each muscle. Grade 0 was defined as no vessels seen; Grade 1: at least one intramuscular vessel seen; Grade 2 was defined as ≥5 vessels in a two-...
Despite calf muscle strain injuries (CMSI) being problematic in many sports, there is a dearth of research to guide clinicians dealing with these injuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current practices and perspectives of a select group of
Muscle injuries are among the most common injuries in sport and continue to be a major concern due to training and competition time loss, challenging decision-making regarding treatment and return to sport, and relatively high recurrence rate. An adequat

Muscle damage is related to indirect/elongation mechanism, direct impact or dysfunction of the supporting connective tissue and is common in athletes. Muscle trauma can lead to changes that may be observed on US and MRI. MRI or US grading of muscle injur
This chapter includes a discussion of the structure of muscle and the muscle–tendon junction, the use of MRI and ultrasound for the assessment of muscle injury and the current grading systems for both modalities. Muscle injuries include: muscle strain/tear, muscle contusion, delayed onset muscle ...
