Gastrocnemius fascicles are shorter and more pennate throughout the first month following acute Achilles tendon rupture
The purpose of this study was to characterize the short-term effects of Achilles tendon ruptures on medial gastrocnemius. We hypothesized that the fascicles of the medial gastrocnemius muscle of the injured Achilles tendon would be shorter and more pennate immediately following the injury and would...
