This is one of my favourite narrative expert reviews that discusses the benefits of human biologic springs like the Achilles tendon. These benefits can be summarised as follows:
- Metabolic energy conservation
- Amplification of muscle power output
- Attenuation of muscle power input
Some really interesting mechanisms and insights for rehabilitation . I hope you enjoy!
