Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Glen Anthony Lichtwark"
- Glen Anthony Lichtwark's research focuses on the biomechanical properties of muscle-tendon units, specifically examining the influence of muscle-tendon length and force on the stiffness of the central aponeurosis in human muscles.
- In his 2018 study published in *Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A*, Lichtwark utilized ultrasound and elastography techniques to explore how varying muscle-tendon lengths could affect the behavior of the aponeurosis and fascicle strains during isometric contractions.
- The findings indicate that both active and passive states of muscle significantly influence the longitudinal stiffness of the aponeurosis, which in turn could impact how fascicle strains respond to muscle contractions at different lengths.
