Shear Wave Tensiometry in the Evaluation of Achilles Tendon Loading: A Cross‐Sectional Study on Conservatively Treated Tendons After Rupture
There is no difference in SWS values between the affected and the unaffected AT in the longer term after the rupture. However, differences in SWS were detected at specific contraction levels in participants with a mid-tendon lesion. Moreover, tendon thickness and the cross-sectional area, as well as plantar flexor strength, remain different between the affected and the unaffected AT.
