Effects of Femorotibial and Tibiotarsal Joint Ranges of Motion on the Gastrocnemius Muscle-Tendon Working Length in the Canine Cadaveric Limb

Objective This study aimed to describe changes in the length of the gastrocnemius muscle-tendon unit between the medial fabella and the calcaneus (MF-C) at different femorotibial joint (FTJ) and tibiotarsal joint (TTJ) angle combinations in the canine limb. Study Design This is an ex vivo kinematic study. Animals Canine cadaveric pelvic limbs (n = 11). Procedures One cadaveric pelvic limb was dissected to identify the anatomical origin and...
