Fig. 7. Variations in stiffness among the five segments studied at Po or 0.25 of Po. Stiffness declines from the tendon to the aponeurosis, and the tendon was significantly (P<0.05; indicated on graph) stiffer than all three regions that did not include any overlap between tendon and aponeurosis. In addition, while the general pattern holds for contractions at 0.25 of Po, the tissue is much more compliant. TEND, tendon; PTDA, proximal tendon/distal aponeurosis; DA, dorsal aponeurosis; MA, middle aponeurosis; PA, proximal aponeurosis.
