ABSTRACT:
A method for optimizing length in a detached striated muscle being surgically reattached. The method includes illuminating a bundle of fibers in the muscle to produce a diffraction pattern related to sarcomere spacing in the fibers. Prior to surgical reattachment, the muscle is stretched to an optimal length, an evidenced by a preselected spacing between a pair of different-order diffraction lines in the diffraction pattern.
