The in vivo mechanical and material properties of the Achilles tendon-aponeurosis are altered in tendinopathy, compared to asymptomatic tendons. Despite a similar clinical presentation to Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy does not appear to alter the tensile behaviour of the PT in vivo.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
