The behavior of the entire medial gastrocnemius (MG) superficial and deep aponeurosis structure was investigated with velocity-encoded phase-contrast, spin-tag, and three-dimensional morphometric magnetic resonance imaging. The displacements and strain of both these aponeuroses, muscle length, and the cross-sectional segment length of the deep aponeurosis were measured during isometric plantarflexion at 20% and 40% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). The length of the entire MG shortened dur ...[more]
