| Full Study Name: | Assessing Achilles Tendon Load in Healthy Participants using Tensiometry and Plantar Flexion Moment Estimation |
| Short Study Name: | Healthy Achilles Tendon Loading |
| College / Affiliation | College of Health Sciences |
| Relevant Research Categories | [328] |
| Location of Study: | University of Delaware STAR Campus, 540 S College Ave, Newark, DE 19713 |
| Description of Study: |
Researchers are assessing the load in the Achilles tendon during dynamic activities using two methods: motion capture and shear wave tensiometry. Participation requires a visit of about 1.5 hours where participants will be asked to perform activities like walking, squatting, and lunges. |
| Will participants be compensated for participation? | |
| Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria: |
Healthy adults (age 18-60) with no lifetime history of Achilles tendinopathy or tendon rupture and no history of serious lower extremity injury in the past 6 months that resulted in an inability to resume all previous physical activities. |
