Fig. 5. Effect of distal plantaris-tenotomy on proximo-distal force differences. (A) Proximo-distal active force differences. (B) Proximo-distal passive force differences. Closed symbols represent the data before tenotomy (i.e. both medial gastrocnemius (GM) and plantaris (PL) distal tendons connected to calcaneal bone). Open symbols represent post-tenotomy data. Note that a substantial fraction of PL force was still transmitted to the distal force transducer. Muscle tendon complex length (Lm+t) is expressed as deviation from optimum length (L0). Force is shown as mean ± S.E.M.
