Since Blix noted that force varies with muscle length [1], many investigators have worked to characterize the passive length-tension properties of skeletal muscle in the tissue’s fiber direction [2]. However, few reports have examined the properties of muscle in either transverse extension or in longitudinal shear [3–4]. Material properties in these three directions are needed to fully characterize computational models, which generally describe muscle as being transversely isotropic, hyperelastic, and isovolumetric [3–6]. Further, previous studies reporting tri-planar material properties indicate that muscle tissue is stiffer in the transverse direction compared to the longitudinal direction [3–4]. This counters conventional notions of transversely isotropic materials, which are generally stiffer in the fiber direction.
