α7β1integrin is a transmembrane structural and receptor protein of skeletal muscles, and the absence of α7-integrin causes muscular dystrophy. We hypothesized that the absence of α7-integrin alters compliance and viscoelasticity and disrupts the

α-Sarcoglycan (ASG) is a transmembrane protein of the dystrophin-associated complex, and absence of ASG causes limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. We hypothesize that disruption of the sarcoglycan complex may alter muscle extensibility and disrupt the c
