Tendons are known to have a profound impact on the overall function of the musculoskeletal system in their role as a structural link and force transmitter between muscle and bone. Their unique viscoelastic response under tension allows efficient use and recycling of stored energy during stretch involved in locomotion, modulating joint position control, and providing protection from muscle injuries through reduction of mechanical oscillation and shock. The study of the mechanical behavior of the Achilles Tendon, defined as the thick or external tendon running from the calcaneus insertion to the distal part of the soleus muscle, is of particular clinical importance, since it is known to be. | ANGIOPLASTY VARIOUS TECHNIQUES AND CHALLENGES IN TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL AND ACQUIRED VASCULAR STENOSES Edited by Thomas Forbes Angioplasty Various Techniques and Challenges in Treatment of Congenital and Acquired Vascular Stenoses Edited by Thomas Forbes Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
