Hello all.
i am doing a research proposal on the use of a micrometer and skin
calipers to measure the achilles tendon under varying conditions. I am
having difficulty in finding much literature re measurement of TA with
these instruments as all seems to be related to skin folds! Can anyone
suggest where i can try next?
Thanx Leonie.
