Regionalizing muscle activity causes changes to the magnitude and direction of the force from whole muscles - A modelling study

Skeletal muscle can contain neuromuscular compartments that are spatially distinct regions that can receive relatively independent levels of activation. This study tested how the magnitude and direction of the force developed by a whole muscle would change when the muscle activity was regionalized w...
