A comparison of neural control of the biarticular gastrocnemius muscles between knee flexion and ankle plantar flexion

Résumé

Several studies have focused on the neural strategies used to control the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) and lateralis (GL) during plantar flexion. However, their secondary function, i.e., knee flexion, is not often explored. We observed a robustness of the GM and GL activation strategy across tasks, which was confirmed with an analysis of the motor unit discharge characteristics. The level of common synaptic input between GM and GL motor units was low, regardless of the task.
