Free-oscillation technique: The effect of the magnitude of the impulse applied on muscle and tendon stiffness around the ankle.

The importance of the muscle-tendon complex in sport and for activities of everyday living is well recognised. The free oscillation technique is frequently used to determine the musculo-articular "apparent" stiffness (obtained from vertical ground reaction force) and other parameters. Howe...
