A Multi-modality Approach Towards Elucidation of the Mechanism for Human Achilles Tendon Bending During Passive Ankle Rotation

Abstract The in vitro unconstrained Achilles tendon is nearly straight, while in vivo experiments reveal that the proximal region of the Achilles tendon, adjacent to Kager’s fat pad, bends ventrally during plantarflexion but remains nearly straight during dorsiflexion. Tendon bending is an important...
