Sarcomere overextension has been widely implicated in stretch-induced muscle injuiy. Yet, sarcomere overextensions are typically inferred based on indirect evidence obtained in muscle and fibre preparations, where individual sarcomeres cannot be observed during dynamic contractions. Therefore, it remains unclear whether sarcomere overextensions are permanent following injury-inducing stretch-shortening cycles, and thus, if they can explain stretch-induced force loss. We tested the hypothesis that overextended sarcomeres can regain filament overlap in isolated myofibrils from rabbit psoas muscles. Maximally activated myofibrils (n=13) were stretched from an average sarcomere length of 2.6 +/- 0.04 mu m by 0.9 mu m sarcomere(-1) at a speed of 0.1 mu m sarcomere(-1) s(-1) and immediately returned to the starting lengths at the same speed (sarcomere strain =34.1 +/- 2.3%). Myofibrils were then allowed to contract isometrically at the starting lengths (2.6 pm) for similar to 30 s before relaxing. Force and individual sarcomere lengths were measured continuously. Out of the 182 sarcomeres, 35 sarcomeres were overextended at the peak of stretch, out of which 26 regained filament overlap in the shortening phase while 9 ( similar to 5%) remained overextended. About 35% of the sarcomeres with initial lengths on the descending limb of the force-length relationship and similar to 2% of the sarcomeres with shorter initial lengths were overextended. These findings provide first ever direct evidence that overextended sarcomeres can regain filament overlap in the shortening phase following stretch, and that the likelihood of overextension is higher for sarcomeres residing initially on the descending limb.

Prebiotic and Exercise Do Not Alter Knee Osteoarthritis in a Rat Model of Established Obesity

Jaqueline Lourdes Rios, David A. Hart, Raylene A. Reimer, Walter Herzog

Summary: The study found that aerobic exercise or prebiotic fiber supplementation, either alone or in combination, improved certain markers of metabolic disturbance but did not have a significant impact on knee joint damage. It is important to note that chow-fed rats showed similar knee osteoarthritis-like damage as the high-fat/high-sucrose-fed rats.

Skeletal Muscle in Cerebral Palsy: From Belly to Myofibril

Jason J. Howard, Walter Herzog

Summary: Recent research has shed light on the pathophysiological mechanisms of muscle contractures in cerebral palsy, involving upregulation of collagen content and excessive length of sarcomeres. The use of botulinum toxin for spasticity management may lead to increased muscle atrophy and fibrofatty content. Emerging theories in areas such as muscle homeostasis and epigenetic mechanisms are contributing to a deeper understanding of this complex issue.

Summary: The study utilized deep learning segmentation for mu CT images to assess 3D CC morphology. Analysis of samples from different anatomical regions revealed variation in CC thickness, with the thickest in the patella and thinnest in the tibial plateau. The proposed mu CT analysis provides a reliable method for ex vivo 3D assessment of CC morphology, with potential applications in understanding cartilage mineralization dynamics and joint diseases.

Residual force enhancement is attenuated for quick stretch conditions

Summary: This study found that very quick stretches can affect the magnitude of residual force enhancement, although there was no significant difference between muscles. This can help explain the key mechanism for inducing residual force enhancement.

Fast stretching of skeletal muscle fibres abolishes residual force enhancement

Shuyue Liu, Venus Joumaa, Walter Herzog

Summary: The steady-state isometric force of a muscle after active stretching is greater than that of a purely isometric contraction at the same length and activation level, a phenomenon known as residual force enhancement (rFE). The role of cross-bridge cycling in rFE was investigated, and it was found that fast stretching, which causes cross-bridge slipping, is associated with a loss of rFE.

Comparison of Forces Exerted by a Chiropractor on Children and Adults During High-Speed, Low-Amplitude Spinal Manipulations: A Feasibility Study

Walter Herzog, Peter Kevorkian, Brent Russell, Joel Alcantara

Summary: The objective of this study was to quantify the forces exerted by a single chiropractor on children and adults during high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulations and evaluate the correlation of forces to age. The results showed that most outcome variables increased with the age of the patient. This study demonstrated the feasibility of measuring the forces used by a chiropractor in clinical practice on patients of different ages.

Sensitivity of muscle force response of a two-state cross-bridge model to variations in model parameters

Faruk Ortes, Azim Jinha, Walter Herzog, Yunus Ziya Arslan

Summary: Muscle models based on the cross-bridge theory can represent the dynamic and nonlinear characteristics of muscle forces. Sensitivity analysis of a Huxley model showed that changes in detachment rate had the greatest effect on muscle forces during lengthening contractions, while changes in attachment rate and binding distance had the greatest effect on forces during shortening contractions. These results highlight the asymmetry between shortening and lengthening contractions and the challenges of accurately predicting forces using a single cross-bridge model.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the electromyographic responses associated with manual high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation in individuals with mild neck disability. The results showed that cervical spinal manipulation resulted in the highest rate of electromyographic responses in muscles of the cervical spine, while responses in back muscles were highest after upper thoracic manipulations.

Summary: Recent developments in musculoskeletal modeling have focused on model customization. Personalization of the spine profile may affect estimates of spinal loading and stability. This study investigates the biomechanical consequences of changes in the spinal profile and finds that personalizing the spine profile has medium to large effects on trunk muscle forces and negligible to small effects on spinal loading and stability.

Individuals with rotator cuff tears unsuccessfully treated with exercise therapy have less inferiorly oriented net muscle forces during scapular plane abduction

Luke T. Mattar, Arash B. Mahboobin, Adam J. Popchak, William J. Anderst, Volker Musahl, James J. Irrgang, Richard E. Debski

Summary: Exercise therapy fails in about 25.0% of cases for individuals with rotator cuff tears, and one reason for this failure may be the inability to strengthen and balance the muscle forces that keep the humeral head in the correct position. This study developed computational musculoskeletal models to compare the net muscle force before and after exercise therapy between successfully and unsuccessfully treated patients. The study found that unsuccessfully treated patients had less inferiorly oriented net muscle forces, which may increase the risk of impingement.

Differences in intra-foot movement strategies during locomotive tasks among chronic ankle instability, copers and healthy individuals

Peimin Yu, Xuanzhen Cen, Qichang Mei, Alan Wang, Yaodong Gu, Justin Fernandez

Summary: This study aimed to explore the intra-foot biomechanical differences among individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), copers, and healthy individuals during dynamic tasks. The study found that copers and CAI individuals had smaller dorsiflexion angles and copers presented a more eversion position compared to healthy participants. Copers also had greater dorsiflexion angles in the metatarsophalangeal joint and more inversion moments in the subtalar joint during certain tasks. These findings can help in designing interventions to restore ankle joint functions in CAI individuals.
