Ultrasound measurement of triceps surae muscle-tendon architecture

The resting plantar-flexors MTU architecture assessment was performed using a conventional B-mode and extended-field-of-view (EFOV) ultrasound imaging. Achille tendon cross-sectionnal area, Medial gastrocnemius thickness, pennation angle, fascicle length and muscle length were collected on the dominant lower limb.
