The effects of immobilization on the mechanical properties of the patellar tendon in younger and older men
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
It remains unknown if inactivity changes the mechanical properties of the human patellar tendon in younger and older healthy persons. The purpose was to examine the effects of short-term unilateral immobilization on the structural and mechanical properties of the patellar tendon in older men and younger men, in vivo.
