Introduction Abnormal kinematics have been implicated as one of the major risk factors for
lower limb tendinopathy (LLT). Objective To systematically review evidence for kinematic …

Background Research into the nature of overuse Achilles tendon injuries is extensive, yet
uncertainty remains around how to identify athletes susceptible to Achilles tendon injury …

The A chilles tendon (AT) consists of fascicles that originate from the medial head of the
gastrocnemius (MG), lateral head of the gastrocnemius (LG), and soleus muscle (Sol) …

Background: There is disagreement in the literature regarding whether the excessive
excursion or velocity of rearfoot eversion is related to the development of 2 common running …

The free Achilles tendon (AT) consists of distinct fascicles arising from each of the triceps
surae muscles that may give rise to non-uniform behavior during functional tasks such as …

Objectives To examine the evidence for effect of restricted ankle dorsiflexion range of motion
on lower-extremity landing mechanics. Design Literature review. Methods Systematic search …

The Achilles tendon transmits contractile force from the main plantarflexor muscles, the
soleus and the medial and lateral gastrocnemii. Force is transmitted from the contractile …

Background Overuse injuries are multifactorial resulting from cumulative loading. Therefore,
clear differences between normal and at-risk individuals may not be present for individual …

Findings on the twisting structure and insertional location of the AT on the calcaneal
tuberosity are inconsistent. Therefore, to obtain a better understanding of the mechanisms …

Achilles tendon (AT) comprises of 3 subtendons arising from the soleus (SOL) and the
lateral (LG) and medial (MG) heads of the gastrocnemius muscle. While recent human …
