Validity and reliability of a novel 3d ultrasound approach to assess static lengths and the lengthening behavior of the gastrocnemius medialis muscle and the achilles tendon in vivo

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    In this context, information about individual muscle belly and tendon lengths is helpful to assess the presence of muscle belly contracture and improves the understanding of structural adaptations. Gathering information about adaptations in muscle belly and tendon lengths due to treatments (e_g, stretching, orthotics) is important when developing efficient therapies. Several drawbacks of these approaches exist, e_g, lying perfectly still is obligatory, 2D simplification of biological tissue properties. The authors hypothesized that this approach would have an adequate accuracy and high reliability for muscle-tendon length measurements.
