Reconstruction of the human gastrocnemius force-length curve in vivo: part 1 -- model-based validation of method.

The muscle fiber force-length relationship has been explained in terms of the cross-bridge theory at the sarcomere level. In vivo, for a physiologically realistic range of joint motion, and therefore range of muscle fiber lengths, only part of the force-length curve may be used; that is, the section...
