Patellar Tendon Strain Associates to Tendon Structural Abnormalities in Adolescent Athletes
High mechanical strain is thought to be one of the main factors for the risk of tendon injury, as it determines the mechanical demand placed upon the tendon by the working muscle. The present study investigates the association of tendon mechanical properties including force, stress and strain, and m...
