This review celebrates the work of Professor Mike Benjamin, whose anatomical research transformed our understanding of entheses. Entheses are biomechanically complex regions that accommodate the transition between soft connective tissues and bone by natural macroscopic and microscopic adaptations that reduce stress concentration.

Is it possible to establish reference values for ankle muscle isokinetic strength? A meta-analytical study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The importance of measuring ankle muscle strength (AMS) has been demonstrated in a variety of clinical areas. Much data has been accumulated using the Cybex Norm isokinetic dynamometer but a uniform framework does not exist.

Glycosaminoglycans influence regional mechanics in young but not old Achilles tendons
Abstract figure legend Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are long, polysaccharide chains that are located between collagen fibrils in tendon and decrease with age in many musculoskeletal tissues. Yet, it is unknown whether declines in GAGs with age are responsible for age‐related changes to Achilles tendon mechanics.
