Effects of the strain rate on mechanical properties of tendon structures in knee extensors and plantar flexors in vivo.

abstract：:Inverse Dynamics is routinely used in biomechanics for the estimation of loading in the musculoskeletal system but there are problems with the terms and definitions and even official recommendations introduce artificial and incorrect mechanical constructs to justify arbitrary and inappropriate terms. These terminology...
