3D Models Reveal the Influence of Achilles Subtendon Twist on Strain and Energy Storage
The Achilles tendon (AT) has complex function in walking, exchanging energy due to loading by the triceps surae muscles. AT structure comprises three subtendons which exhibit variable twist among themselves and between individuals. Our goal was to create 3D finite element (FE) models to explore AT s...
