Abstract Purpose of Review Achilles tendon ruptures (ATR) are detrimental to sports
performance, and optimal treatment strategy and guidelines on return to play (RTP) remain …

Tendons are elastic structures that connect muscle to the skeletal system and transmit force
relative to the amount of stretch they experience. The mechanical properties of human …

Background Knowledge of the muscle's lengths at which maximum active isometric force is
attained is important for predicting forces during movement. However, there is limited …

The Achilles tendon (AT) moment arm is an important determinant of ankle moment and
power generation during locomotion. Load and depth-dependent variations in the AT …

Moment arm-angle functions (MA-a-functions) are commonly used to estimate in vivo muscle
forces in humans. However, different MA-a-functions might not only influence the magnitude …

The plantarflexor moment arm of the Achilles tendon determines the mechanical advantage
of the triceps surae and also indirectly affects muscle force generation by setting the amount …

When studying muscle and whole-body function in children with cerebral palsy (CP),
knowledge about both internal and external moment arms is essential since they determine …

In vivo muscle forces are typically estimated using literature-based or subject-specific
moment arms (MAs) because it is not possible to measure in vivo muscle forces non …

The Achilles tendon (AT) moment arm transforms triceps surae muscle forces into a moment
about the ankle which is critical for functional activities like walking. Moreover, the AT …

Background The aim was to calculate the Achilles tendon moment arm in different degrees
of plantarflexion for pes planus, pes cavus and normal arched feet. Methods 99 patients (99 …
