The free Achilles tendon is considered a homogenous structure that transmits muscular force in a linear manner. However, the tendon undergoes longitudinal rotation and is separated in mechanically independent segments with distinct mechanical and material tissue properties. The present review examines the hypothesis that the human Achilles tendon is asymmetrically loaded, and undergoes heterogeneous deformation during movement.

Local trauma in human patellar tendon leads to widespread changes in the tendon gene expression
Heinemeier, Katja M.; Lorentzen, Marc P.; Jensen, Jacob K.; Schjerling, Peter; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Narici, Marco V.; Kjaer, Michael (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-01)Low cellular activity and slow tissue turnover in human tendon may prolong resolution of tendinopathy. This may be stimulated by moderate localized traumas such as needle penetrations, but whether this results in a widespread ... -
Training-induced increase in Achilles tendon stiffness affects tendon strain pattern during running
Werkhausen, Amelie; Cronin, Neil J.; Albracht, Kirsten; Paulsen, Gøran; Larsen, Askild V.; Bojsen-Møller, Jens; Seynnes, Olivier R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: During the stance phase of running, the elasticity of the Achilles tendon enables the utilisation of elastic energy and allows beneficial contractile conditions for the triceps surae muscles. However, the effect ... -
Recovery from Achilles Tendon Repair: A Combination of Postsurgery Outcomes and Insufficient Remodeling of Muscle and Tendon
Stäudle, Benjamin; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Laps, Guido; Göll, Fabian; Brüggemann, Gert-Peter; Albracht, Kirsten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction: Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) patients have persistent functional deficits in the triceps surae muscle–tendon unit (MTU). The complex remodeling of the MTU accompanying these deficits remains poorly understood. ...
