[HTML][HTML] Tendon injury and repair–A perspective on the basic mechanisms of tendon disease and future clinical therapy

JG Snedeker, J Foolen - Acta biomaterialia, 2017 - Elsevier
Tendon is an intricately organized connective tissue that efficiently transfers muscle force to
the bony skeleton. Its structure, function, and physiology reflect the extreme, repetitive …

Ankle and foot power in gait analysis: Implications for science, technology and clinical assessment

KE Zelik, EC Honert - Journal of Biomechanics, 2018 - Elsevier
In human gait analysis studies, the entire foot is typically modeled as a single rigid-body
segment; however, this neglects power generated/absorbed within the foot. Here we show …
