The architectural features of the major knee extensors and flexors and ankle plantarflexors and dorsiflexors were determined in three human cadavers and grouped according to whether they showed a predilection for tension or velocity of shortening.

A specific tension value of 22.5 N X cm-2 appears to be a reasonable value for all mixed muscles studied in the guinea pig hindlimb and can be used to estimate their Po.

It is shown that pronounced functional recovery can occur after severe SCI without the maintenance or regeneration of direct projections from the brain past the lesion and can be mediated by the reorganization of descending and propriospinal connections.

It was found that the soleus and vastus intermedius muscles had the highest proportion of slow oxidative fibers in all five species, demonstrating the constancy of muscle fiber profiles dependent upon anatomical position and functional utilization.

The soleus fibers were unusually short relative to the muscle volume, thus potentiating its force potential, and these data illustrate some of the major limitations in the use of ACSA measurements to predict the functional properties of a muscle.
Specific tension of human plantar flexors and dorsiflexors.

The data suggest that factors other than PCSA contribute to the force output potential of ankle plantar flexors and dorsiflexors in humans.

It is shown that neuromodulation of the sub-threshold motor state of excitability of the lumbosacral spinal networks was the key to recovery of intentional movement in four of four individuals diagnosed as having complete paralysis of the legs.
Transformation of nonfunctional spinal circuits into functional states after the loss of brain input

- 1 October 2009
It is proposed that, in the absence of supraspinal input, spinal locomotion can emerge from a combination of central pattern-generating capability and the ability of these spinal circuits to use sensory afferent input to control stepping.
