Evaluation of tissue displacement and regional strain in the Achilles tendon using quantitative high-frequency ultrasound.

Evaluation of tissue displacement and regional strain in the Achilles tendon using quantitative high-frequency ultrasound.

The Achilles tendon has a unique structure-function relationship thanks to its innate hierarchical architecture in combination with the rotational anatomy of the sub-tendons from the triceps surae muscles. Previous research has provided valuable insight in global Achilles tendon mechanics, but limit...
