Injections into gastrocnemius and soleus can make splints more comfortable to wear, and may sometimes improve walking.
Protein nitration with aging in the rat semimembranosus and soleus muscles.
Antagonists are plantar-flexors of the posterior compartment such as soleus and gastrocnemius.
Muscle force, specifically in the gastrocnemius and/or soleus, may limit walking speed in certain populations and lead to slower preferred speeds.
The triceps surae consists of the soleus and the two heads of the gastrocnemius.
P70 is phosphorylated by passive stretch in the soleus muscle.
The gastrocnemius and soleus modulate the tibialis anterior to dorsiflex the foot, and finally the intrinsic and extrinsic foot muscles are active.
Results showed significant increases in activation of tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, soleus, rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, medial hamstring, biceps femoris, and gluteus maximus before foot strike.
