Patellar tendon mechanical properties change with gender, body mass index and quadriceps femoris muscle strength
TLDR
PT stiffness is correlated and affected by gender, body mass index and QF muscle strength whereas PT thickness is correlation and affected only to BMI and Qf muscle strength.About:

Ultrasound elastography: compression elastography and shear-wave elastography in the assessment of tendon injury.
TL;DR: Ultrasound elastography is a promising technique under development and may be used not only to promote an early diagnosis, but also to identify the risk of injury and to support the evaluation of rehabilitation interventions.

Obesity Increases the Risk of Tendinopathy, Tendon Tear and Rupture, and Postoperative Complications: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies.
TL;DR: Obesity was associated with a greater risk of upper extremity tendinopathy and rupture leading to tendon surgery than patients who do not have obesity and an increased risk of complications after upper and lower extremity tendon surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound elastography and ultrasound tissue characterisation for tendon evaluation.
TL;DR: The present literature indicates that UE and UTC could potentially increase the clinician's ability to accurately diagnose the extent of tendon pathology, including preclinical injury.

TL;DR: Sonoelastography appears to be a very useful diagnostic tool, in particular in tendon pathology, and may be useful in recognizing tendon abnormalities and in implementing the information available with conventional US.

TL;DR: The results suggest that age-related isometric strength loss is similar between sexes while the characteristics of KE and KF peak torque decline are sex-related which likely explains the differential rate of age- related functional decline.

TL;DR: The fundamental physics and the associated terminology underlying elasticity imaging technologies are described to ensure that the terminology and descriptions are broadly compatible across the WFUMB and EFSUMB sets of guidelines on elastography.

TL;DR: Results are in agreement with previous reports on in vitro testing of isolated tendons and suggest that under physiological loading the TA tendon operates within the elastic ‘toe’ region.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered that overuse may be the initial disease factor; in this context, microruptures of tendon fibers occur and several molecules are expressed, some of which promote the healing process, while others, including inflammatory cytokines, act as disease mediators.
