Quantification des propriétés mécaniques du système musculotendinoarticulaire chez l'homme : de la recherche à la valorisation

Abstract

The article presents an innovative and original ergometer device allowing the characterization of the mechanical properties of skeletal muscles crossing a joint in terms of contractile and elastic properties. The different tests, which can be used, and the methods of quantification will be focused on the elastic properties. Research studies, which were conducted in different applications, will show the usefulness of such measurements, as well as, the interest of these measurements in clinical research, physical medicine and rehabilitation or sports application.
