Abstract

In a systematic review, we investigate current applications of ultrasound in locomotion research. Shortcomings in the range of view of ultrasound systems affect the direct validation of musculoskeletal simulations as inverse approaches have to be applied. We present currently used methods to estimate muscle and tendon length in human plantarflexors.
