Abstract
The Achilles tendon insertion angle was measured using ultrasound imaging, in both static conditions and during dynamic movement, by using a reliable and replicable way of locating the tendon insertion point and determining the angle formed between the posterior aspect of the calcaneus and the anterior aspect of the Achilles. As a separate but related task, an ultrasound probe adapter for dynamic ultrasound data collection was designed, built, and tested, with the goal of facilitating the attachment of the probe to the lower leg in this and in future studies.
