Exploration of muscle–tendon biomechanics one year after Achilles tendon rupture and the compensatory role of flexor hallucis longus
Khair, Ra'ad M.; Stenroth, Lauri; Cronin, Neil J.; Ponkilainen, Ville; Reito, Aleksi; Finni, Taija (Elsevier, 2023)Achilles tendon (AT) rupture leads to long-term structural and functional impairments. Currently, the predictors of good recovery after rupture are poorly known. Thus, we aimed to explore the interconnections between ... -
Achilles Tendon Stiffness : Influence of Measurement Methodology
Khair, Ra'ad M.; Sukanen, Maria; Finni, Taija (Elsevier, 2024)Objective Mechanical stiffness derived from force-elongation curves is fundamentally different from shear wave (SW) elastography-based tissue properties. We compared these techniques, with a total of five methods of ... -
Towards modern understanding of the Achilles tendon properties in human movement research
Finni, Taija; Vanwanseele, Benedicte (Elsevier, 2023)The Achilles tendon (AT) is the strongest tendon in humans, yet it often suffers from injury. The mechanical properties of the AT afford efficient movement, power amplification and power attenuation during locomotor tasks. ... -
Biomechanical recovery factors in non-surgically treated ruptured Achilles tendons : Biomechanics of the Achilles tendon after rupture
Khair, Raad (Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2023)Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is a frequent and disabling injury. In the last decade the incidence of ATR has been increasing especially in middle aged men participating in recreational sports. Plantar flexion strength ... -
Muscle-tendon morphomechanical properties of non-surgically treated Achilles tendon 1-year post-rupture
Khair, Ra'ad M.; Stenroth, Lauri; Cronin, Neil J.; Reito, Aleksi; Paloneva, Juha; Finni, Taija (Elsevier BV, 2022)Background Achilles tendon rupture appears to alter stiffness and length of the tendon. These alterations may affect the function of tendon in force transmission and in energy storage and recovery. We studied the mechanical ...
