Contribution
It identifies the limitations of ultrasound view range in locomotion studies and reviews existing methods for estimating muscle and tendon lengths.
Findings
Ultrasound view range limits affect validation of musculoskeletal models.
Current methods for estimating muscle and tendon lengths are summarized.
Systematic review highlights gaps and future directions in ultrasound-based locomotion research.
Abstract
In a systematic review, we investigate current applications of ultrasound in locomotion research. Shortcomings in the range of view of ultrasound systems affect the direct validation of musculoskeletal simulations as inverse approaches have to be applied. We present currently used methods to estimate muscle and tendon length in human plantarflexors.
