Effects of distal versus full resection on the estimate of intermuscular force transmission. Intermuscular force estimates (mean ± SD) over a range of muscle relative displacement obtained by comparing $\text{LG}+\text{PL}$ tendon forces before and after resection of all intermuscular connective tissues (full resection, white circles) or distal intermuscular connective tissues only (distal resection, black circles). The ratio between full resection and distal resection force values provided the r scaling factor at each considered $P_R$
