Considerations on the human Achilles tendon moment arm for in vivo triceps surae muscle-tendon unit force estimates

D. Holzer, F. K. Paternoster, et al.

This study, conducted by Denis Holzer and colleagues, explores how varying Achilles tendon moment arm-angle functions impact the force-angle relationship of the triceps surae muscle-tendon unit during maximum plantarflexion. The findings reveal that these functions significantly affect force estimations, emphasizing the need for individualized approaches in biomechanical research.
