| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The measurement method of mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon in the previous studies have been reported to be influenced by the magnitude of exert muscle force. In other words, the tendon tissue could be more lengthening with larger muscle force. Therefore, it is possibility that the measured mechanical properties were affected by the magnitude of the exerted muscle force. The purpose of present study was to develop the new method of measuring the mechanical properties of the Achilles tendon without exerting muscle force.
