Abstract
The use of shear wave elastography during voluntary contraction has enabled the non-invasive assessment of load sharing strategies between agonist muscles. However, the change in joint angle and voluntary contraction intensity can modify contribution between muscles. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of knee joint angle on the local mechanical properties of the vastus medialis (VM) and the vastus lateralis (VL) during isometric submaximal voluntary contractions from shear wave elastography mapping. The VM and VL Young's modulus at rest and during constant isometric submaximal voluntary contractions (i.e., 25%, 50% and 75% of maximal voluntary contraction [MVC]) were assessed for two knee angles (50° and 100° | knee fully extended = 0°) in twelve participants. No significant difference was found in the VM Young's modulus among all torque levels and knee angles (p > 0.05). VL Young's modulus was significantly higher at 25% MVC for a knee angle of 100° than at 75% MVC for the same knee angle and was greater at 25% MVC for a knee angle of 100° than for 50° (p < 0.05). In contrast to the VM, the contribution of the VL to the knee joint torque production during isometric voluntary contraction appears to depend on the muscle length and the relative knee extension torque level.
