Strain measurement at the knee ligament insertion sites [PDF]
, 2003 We describe the modification of an existing method of ligament strain measurement at the knee joint in detail. At ten fresh joint specimens we used that technique where strain gauges are attached to the ligamentous insertions and origins.

3D Muscle Deformation Mapping at Submaximal Isometric Contractions: Applications to Aging Muscle
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 3D strain or strain rate tensor mapping comprehensively captures regional muscle deformation. While compressive strain along the muscle fiber is a potential measure of the force generated, radial strains in the fiber cross-section may provide information

Stretch imposed on active muscle elicits positive adaptations in strain risk factors and exercise-induced muscle damage [PDF]
, 2018 INTRODUCTION Stretching highly-contracted plantar flexor muscles (isokinetic eccentric contractions) results in beneficial adaptations in muscle strain risk factors; however its effects in other muscle groups, and on architectural characteristics and ...
