gastrocnemius muscles
Differences in contractile behaviour between the soleus and medial gastrocnemius muscles during human walking
... It is currently unknown whether and to what extent soleus may be able to compensate for a decrease in MG force production during human walking. This is due in part to the small number of studies that have examined soleus ...
