- Title
Muscle length matters: new insights into the neural control of lengthening muscle actions of the knee extensors.
- Authors
Behrens, Martin
- Abstract
The article discusses the study of Douget and colleagues on the comparison between intracortical inhibition and corticospinal excitability based on different vastus lateralis muscle lengths. It mentions that the data showsd that the neural control of muscle actions of the vastus lateralis at a specific length can be inverted longer. It suggests the need for further studies on the topic.
