• Viscoelastic properties of the Achilles tendon in vivo 

  Peltonen, Jussi; Cronin, Neil; Stenroth, Lauri; Finni Juutinen, Taija; Avela, Janne (Springer, 2013)

  It has been postulated that human tendons are viscoelastic and their mechanical properties time-dependent. Although Achilles tendon (AT) mechanics are widely reported, there is no consensus about AT viscoelastic properties ...

• Effects of ageing on Achilles tendon properties and triceps surae muscle architecture in vivo 

  Stenroth, Lauri (2012)

  Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in human body and it has an important role in human locomotion. Ageing is associated with lowered muscle function and the changes in tendon properties could have a major role in ...

• Achilles tendon viscoelastic properties and mechanical responses to a single bout of exercise 

  Peltonen, Jussi (University of Jyväskylä, 2014)

• 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 ...
