## Abstract In this study, the forceβlength characteristics of the in vivo medial (GM) and lateral (GL) heads of the human gastrocnemius muscle were estimated from measurements in eight healthy male subjects. This involved: 1) dynamometryβbased measurements of the moment generated during maximal is

β¦ Synopsis
Previous work has suggested that the third molar lies just in front of the point where the resultant vector of jaw muscle force, estimated from dissections, intersects the tooth row. This point meets the jaw such that the vector is 30% of jaw length from the jaw joint.

## Abstract ## Objective To characterize the distribution of error in knee joint proprioception, quadriceps force accuracy and steadiness, and muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Special attention was paid to eccentric strength. ## Methods We compared knee OA patients (n =
In order to measure force of contraction of the rat gastrocnemius muscle in the NMR spectrometer with a simultaneous observation of 31 P NMR spectra, an optical force transducer was constructed using gratings and optical fibers. Muscle contraction was accurately recorded in the spectrometer without
