Differential mechanical behaviour of superficial and deep aponeurosis and tendon during in situ cyclic contractions of rabbit medial gastrocnemius muscle

Stephanie A. Ross, Christine Waters-Banker, Andrew Sawatsky, Timothy R. Leonard et al.

Short summary

Aponeurosis, unlike tendon, does not show strain proportional to muscle force during rabbit medial gastrocnemius contractions; instead, it peaks early and plateaus, indicating distinct mechanical behavior.
