Objective Quantitative ultrasound of the calcaneus is used clinically for evaluating bone fracture risk, but its association with the mechanical properties at other skeletal sites is not well ...
between the mechanical environment and trabecular bone architecture in the human calcaneus during growth. However, controlled experiments combined with more detailed biomechanical models of gait maturation ...
The elastic properties of the human Achilles tendon are important for locomotion; however, in vitro tests suggest that repeated cyclic contractions lead to tendon fatigue – an increase in length ...
that velocities measured with this technique do indeed correspond to bar velocities, and consequently that low-frequency ultrasound can be used to directly predict the mechanical properties of trabecular bone ...
to be the strongest predictor of all compressive properties . BUA and BMD demonstrated similar predictability of stiffness and energy absorption capacity, however, BUA showed a more significant relationship ...
the properties of bone reflected by QUS indices. QUS employed high frequency sound waves generated by the device to determine bone health status in humans . In vitro studies showed that QUS indices were ...

bone material as a means for differentially enhancing mechanical properties for local strain environments produced by habitual bending. Fifteen skeletally mature and 15 immature deer calcanei were cut ...
for adaptations to the mechanical properties of the tendon that may occur with prolonged barefoot running, which may influence predicted plantar-flexor energetics. Finally, we used the same performance criterion ...
aponeurosis and, thereby, pulls the calcaneus and metatarsal heads towards each other (Fig 1). Consequently, the longitudinal arch rises. It is thought that the mechanism counters compressive forces from above ...
