A major distinction among different skeletal muscles in the human body is the number, size, and arrangement of its cells, referred to as a muscle’s architecture. Muscle architecture is indicative of a muscle’s ability to contract and produce force and, like muscle function, is plastic. While neuromuscular plasticity is the...
Many stroke survivors are left with residual movement impairments. Treating these impairments has proven difficult, because it is often unclear which mechanisms drive movement impairment. While the exact mechanisms are still uncertain, at present, evidence suggests that neuromuscular function is disrupted in two key domains following stroke: muscle biomechanics, and...
