Creep and the in vivo assessment of human patellar tendon mechanical properties (2007)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., Burgess, K., & Onambele, G. (2007). Creep and the in vivo assessment of human patellar tendon mechanical properties. Clinical Biomechanics, 22(6), 712-717. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2007.02.006

Background: Owing to the viscoelastic nature of tendons it may be that the total excursion and hence strain experienced by the tendon under load may be affected by the duration of contraction. Here we examine the effect of contraction duration on the... Read More about Creep and the in vivo assessment of human patellar tendon mechanical properties.
