Ultrasound as a Tool to Study Muscle–Tendon Functions during Locomotion: A Systematic Review of Applications

Movement science investigating muscle and tendon functions during locomotion utilizes commercial ultrasound imagers built for medical applications. These limit biomechanics research due to their form factor, range of view, and spatio-temporal resolution. This review systematically investigates the t...
