Abstract

This study demonstrates that changes in ankle position alter muscle length, impact force steadiness, motor unit recruitment thresholds, and oscillatory common inputs in the triceps surae. It highlights a neuromuscular control strategy that integrates afferent feedback, muscle mechanical properties, and descending inputs to synergistic plantarflexors. These findings provide a foundation for further investigation into muscle coordination during multijoint, dynamic movements.
