Acute effects of static versus dynamic stretching on isometric peak torque, electromyography, and mechanomyography of the Biceps Femoris Muscle
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2008Co-Authors: Trent J. Herda, Joel T. Cramer, Eric D. Ryan, Malachy P. Mchugh, Jeffrey R. StoutAbstract:The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of static versus dynamic stretching on peak torque (PT) and electromyographic (EMG), and mechanomyographic (MMG) amplitude of the Biceps Femoris Muscle (BF) during isometric maximal voluntary contractions of the leg flexors at four different knee joint angles. Fourteen men ((mean +/- SD) age, 25 +/- 4 years) performed two isometric leg flexion maximal voluntary contractions at knee joint angles of 41[degrees], 61[degrees], 81[degrees], and 101[degrees] below full leg extension. EMG ([mu]V) and MMG (m[middle dot]s-2) signals were recorded from the BF Muscle while PT values (Nm) were sampled from an isokinetic dynamometer. The right hamstrings were stretched with either static (stretching time, 9.2 +/- 0.4 minutes) or dynamic (9.1 +/- 0.3 minutes) stretching exercises. Four repetitions of three static stretching exercises were held for 30 seconds each, whereas four sets of three dynamic stretching exercises were performed (12-15 repetitions) with each set lasting 30 seconds. PT decreased after the static stretching at 81[degrees] (p = 0.019) and 101[degrees] (p = 0.001) but not at other angles. PT did not change (p > 0.05) after the dynamic stretching. EMG amplitude remained unchanged after the static stretching (p > 0.05) but increased after the dynamic stretching at 101[degrees] (p < 0.001) and 81[degrees] (p < 0.001). MMG amplitude increased in response to the static stretching at 101[degrees] (p = 0.003), whereas the dynamic stretching increased MMG amplitude at all joint angles (p

These results suggested that the decreases in strength after the static stretching may have been the result of mechanical rather than neural mechanisms for the BF Muscle. Overall, an acute bout of dynamic stretching may be less detrimental to Muscle strength than static stretching for the hamstrings.

Its Anatomy and Injury Patterns Associated with Acute Anterolateral-Anteromedial Rotatory Instability
2010Co-Authors: Glenn C Terry, Robert F LapradeAbstract:We dissected 30 cadaveric knees to provide a detailed anatomic description of the Biceps Femoris Muscle complex at the knee. The main components of the long head of the Muscle are a reflected arm, a direct arm, an anterior arm, and a lateral and an anterior aponeurosis. The main components of the short head of the Biceps Femoris Muscle are a proximal attachment to the long head’s tendon, a capsular arm, a confluens of the Biceps and the capsuloosseous layer of the iliotibial tract, a direct arm, an anterior arm, and a lateral aponeurosis. We examined 82 consecutive, acutely injured knees with clinical signs of anterolateral-anteromedial rotatory instability for the incidence and anatomic location of injuries to the Biceps Femoris Muscle. Injuries to components of that Muscle were identified in 59 (72%) of these knees; 29 knees (35.4%) had multiple components injured. There were 3 injuries to the long head of the Biceps Femoris Muscle (all in the reflected arm) and 89 to the short head. A statistically

mri of the distal Biceps Femoris Muscle normal anatomy variants and association with common peroneal entrapment neuropathy
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2007Co-Authors: Renata La Rocca Vieira, Zehava Sadka Rosenberg, Kiril KiprovskiAbstract:OBJECTIVE. The objectives of our study were to describe the previously unreported normal MR anatomy of the distal Biceps Femoris Muscle and its relationship with the common peroneal nerve and to present a case in which previously unreported MR evidence of an anatomic variation in the distal Biceps Femoris Muscle was associated with common peroneal entrapment neuropathy.MATERIALS AND METHODS. One hundred consecutive 1.5-T knee MR studies of 97 asymptomatic patients were retrospectively reviewed by two observers in consensus for, first, normal anatomy of the distal Biceps Femoris Muscle; second, anatomic variations of the Muscle; and, third, the relationship of the Muscle to the common peroneal nerve. Measurements of the distal and posterior extents of the short and long heads of the Biceps Femoris were performed. An MR study of a symptomatic patient with clinical evidence of common peroneal neuropathy associated with a surgically proven anatomic variation of the distal Biceps Femoris was reviewed.RESULTS. ...

skeletal myoblast seeded vascularized tissue scaffolds in the treatment of a large volumetric Muscle defect in the rat Biceps Femoris Muscle
Tissue Engineering Part A, 2017Co-Authors: Montzu A Li, Marissa A Ruehle, Hazel Y Stevens, Nick Servies, Nick J Willett, Sukhita Karthikeyakannan, Gordon L Warren, Robert E Guldberg, Laxminarayanan KrishnanAbstract:High velocity impact injuries can often result in loss of large skeletal Muscle mass, creating defects devoid of matrix, cells, and vasculature. Functional regeneration within these regions of large volumetric Muscle loss (VML) continues to be a significant clinical challenge. Large cell-seeded, space-filling tissue-engineered constructs that may augment regeneration require adequate vascularization to maintain cell viability. However, the long-term effect of improved vascularization and the effect of addition of myoblasts to vascularized constructs have not been determined in large VMLs. Here, our objective was to create a new VML model, consisting of a full-thickness, single Muscle defect, in the rat Biceps Femoris Muscle, and evaluate the ability of myoblast-seeded vascularized collagen hydrogel constructs to augment VML regeneration. Adipose-derived microvessels were cultured with or without myoblasts to form vascular networks within collagen constructs. In the animal model, the VML injury was created...
