Muscle spindle abundance is highly variable within and across species, but we currently lack any clear picture of the mechanistic causes or consequences of this variation. Previous use of spindle abundance as a correlate for muscle function implies a mechanical underpinning to this variation, but these ideas have not been tested. Herein, we use integrated medical imaging and subject-specific musculoskeletal models to investigate the relationship between spindle abundance, muscle architecture and in vivo muscle behaviour in the human locomotor system. These analyses indicate that muscle spindle number is tightly correlated with muscle fascicle length, absolute fascicle length change, velocity of fibre lengthening and active muscle forces during walking. Novel correlations between functional indices and spindle abundance are also recovered, where muscles with a high abundance predominantly function as springs, compared to those with a lower abundance mostly functioning as brakes during walking. These data demonstrate that muscle fibre length, lengthening velocity and fibre force are key physiological signals to the central nervous system and its modulation of locomotion, and that muscle spindle abundance may be tightly correlated to how a muscle generates work. These insights may be combined with neuromechanics and robotic studies of motor control to help further tease apart the functional drivers of muscle spindle composition.
