Stretch-induced force potentiation in frog muscle may involve lattice disordering; leaves open whether this mechanism applies to mammalian or human muscle.
Slow stretch of tetanized frog skeletal muscle produces disordering of the myofilament lattice, which may explain the enhanced isometric force observed after stretch.
Amemiya et al. (1988) studied this question.
