Fig. 1From: A novel application of strain sonoelastography can detect changes in Achilles tendon elasticity during isometric contractions of increasing intensitySchematic of the experimental setup. The foot was securely attached to a dynamometer with a wooden board at a fixed angle of 0° of dorsiflexion. The force measured by the load cell was proportional to the torque exerted at the ankle level. The ultrasound probe was placed in a longitudinal scan at the level of the medial malleolusBack to article page
