## Abstract Elderly women are reportedly at higher risk of falling than their male counterparts. Postural balance is highly associated with fall risk and is also correlated with tendon structural and mechanical properties. Gender differences in tendon properties could partly explain the discrepancy
## Abstract Human patellar tendon stress (Ο), strain (Ξ΅), stiffness (__K__), and tensile or Young's modulus (__E__), are determined in vivo through voluntary isometric contractions monitored with Bβmode ultrasonography. The limitations in previous studies are: (1) they have generally not accounted
