Biomechanical loading of Achilles tendon during normal locomotion
Direct in vivo Achilles tendon force measurements open up new possibilities for understanding the loading of the Achilles tendon during...
In vivo Achilles tendon loading during jumping in humans
Elastic behaviour of the human tendomuscular system during jumping was investigated by determination of the in vivo Achilles tendon for...
In vivo measurement-based estimations of the human Achilles tendon moment arm
The aim of the present study was to estimate and compare in vivo measurement-based Achilles tendon moment arm lengths at rest and durin...
Local body composition is associated with gender differences of bone development at the forearm in puberty
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The present analyses intend to clarify if gender and puberty modify the relationship between bone development (modelin...
Mechanical influences on bone development in children
This review focuses on methodological concepts in the evaluation of skeletal muscle function and on adaptation. It is now thought that ...
The ‘functional muscle-cartilage unit’: a reasonable approach to describe a putative relationship between muscle force and longitudinal growth at the forearm in children and adolescents
BACKGROUND: Several reports give evidence that the perichondral ossificiation of bone tubes (modeling) strongly depends on muscular for...
