Biomechanical Simulation of Achilles Tendon Strains during Hurdling

Abstract:

Hurdling is one of the top athletic games with high injury risks, especially the Achilles tendon injury. The purpose of the study was to quantify the Achilles tendon strains using a biomechanical simulation approach, which incorporate motion capture technique and musculoskeletal modeling. The finding indicates that the main muscles of Achilles tendon, gastronomic and soleus, change greatly in muscle length during the hurdling takeoff. The peak angle of the knee and angle was observed at the end of foot touching phase. The results obtained in this study can serve as a basis for further research on Achilles tendon rupture.
