Achilles Subtendons Stiffness Differ in People with and without Achilles Tendinopathy

This study supports the hypothesis that the biomechanical properties of the Achilles tendon differ between subtendons and further shows that the loss of stiffness in Achilles tendinopathy is specific to the GL subtendon.
