Shear Wave Predictions of Achilles Tendon Loading during Human Walking
Scientific Reports, 2019 The evaluation of in vivo muscle-tendon loads is fundamental to understanding the actuation of normal and pathological human walking. However, conventional techniques for measuring muscle-tendon loads in the human body are too invasive for use in gait ...
