Loss of the knee–ankle coupling and unrecognized elongation in Achilles tendon rupture: effects of differential elongation of the gastrocnemius tendon
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy"
DOI: 10.1007/s00167-021-06580-1
Abstract: The biarticular anatomy of the gastrocnemii is an important mechanism of knee–ankle coupling and differential elongation may affect this function leading to weakness of the push-off phase during the gait. Achilles tendon ruptures may cause… read more here.
