EI tended to be increased above 60 years and MT was significantly higher in men compared to women, necessitating age- and sex-dependent reference values. This study shows that muscle ultrasound is capable of visualizing lower leg and foot muscles and reference values for MT and EI can be ...
Located inferior to the knee are a number of muscles that move the ankle, foot, and toes. The calf muscles, including the gastrocnemius and soleus, join to form the strong calcaneal (Achilles) tendon of the heel and attach to the calcaneus bone in the heel. These muscles contract to plant...

In recent years, single-leg and double-leg squats have been primary used to evaluate the biomechanics of the lower extremities [16, 17]. There are biomechanical and neuromuscular similarities between squats and many exercise movements and daily activities, which may explain why this task has been...
