Differential Recruitment of Medial and Lateral Gastrocnemius During Heel Raises: Role of Ankle ROM, Unilateral Execution, and Limb Dominance

Differential Recruitment of Medial and Lateral Gastrocnemius During Heel Raises: Role of Ankle ROM, Unilateral Execution, and Limb Dominance

Background: The medial (MG) and lateral gastrocnemius (LG) muscles exhibit differential activation patterns during plantar flexion tasks. However, the influence of range of motion (ROM), exercise type (unilateral vs. bilateral), and limb dominance on muscle activity during heel raise exercises (HREs...
