Some great posters by the lab at the @TheSIAMNews PNW Conference on parallel computing (Javier Almonacid), 3D dynamic muscle modelling (Cassidy Tam), and modelling effects of cerebral palsy (@rnkonno)!

3/ Often cerebral palsy affected muscle has longer sarcomere lengths than typical muscle. We find that the effects from the longer sarcomeres are mitigated by increased volume fractions of extracellular matrix

2/ We found that the change in extracellular matrix volume fraction during cerebral palsy results in a larger increase in stiffness compared to the change in sarcomere length

1/ Using a 3D continuum model for muscle, we investigated the influence of microstructural components of muscle including the extracellular matrix and sarcomeres on whole muscle passive stiffness

Have some muscle modeling work you’d like to share? Submit an abstract to #WCB2022 for the session Dynamic Muscle Modeling (in MSK 3: Modeling and Simulation) that I’m moderating with Tobias Siebert and James Wakeling! Deadline is Nov 15th at 23:59 GMT 8 wcb2022.com
We hope this hybrid format would allow biomechanists around the world to participate with minimal interference from the effects of the pandemic. Whether you plan to join us online or onsite, we look forward to receiving your abstracts by Nov. 15! More info on WCB 2022 website!

1/ The fifth and final paper from my PhD thesis is out now in Interface! In this paper, we examined the effects of muscle mass on contraction efficiency. More details in thread ⬇️ @WakelingLab

6/ What's next for Steph? A postdoc at UBC, and fifth paper in review! Watch out for her work on the effects of muscle mass on the metabolic cost and efficiency of contraction, and how these relationships are impacted by tendon stiffness. We are so proud of her phenomenal work.
