A Simplified Method for Considering Achilles Tendon Curvature in the Assessment of Tendon Elongation

A Simplified Method for Considering Achilles Tendon Curvature in the Assessment of Tendon Elongation

The consideration of the Achilles tendon (AT) curvature is crucial for the precise determination of AT length and strain. We previously established an ultrasound-kinematic-based method to quantify the curvature, using a line of reflective foil skin markers covering the AT from origin to insertion. T...
