Abstract

Torque generated about the ankle joints during maximum isometric contraction of the plantar flexor muscles was measured on a subject 4 months after unilateral excision of the entire triceps surae. Resulting torque output on the operated limb was 327 kg-cm, or 38 per cent of the 871 kg-cm total for the sound limb.
