Title
The Ultrasound Investigation of the Medial Head of Gastrocnemius Muscle.
Abstract
The paper presents results of study of medial head of gastrocnemius muscle morphological parameters applying ultrasonography. The tests were performed on 6 probants on dominant limb. Basing on the ultrasound scans dataset the following parameters were measured: pennation angle, fiber bundles length, mean echo intensity inversely proportional to the muscle density, muscle thickness, anatomical and physiological cross-sectional area. The parameters were measured in 3 various ankle positions (95 degrees, 110 degrees, 130 degrees), on 3 scans recorded in various locations (proximal, central and distal). The results of study were analysed in order to check the influence of ankle positions and scan position.
