The primary aim of this study was to implement a rheological model of the mechanical behavior of the passive musculo-articular complex (MAC). The second objective was to adapt this model to simulate changes in the passive MAC's mechanical properties induced by passive stretching protocols commonly performed in sport and rehabilitation programs. Nine healthy subjects performed passive ankle dorsi-flexion...
This work aims to model the mechanical behavior of the musculoarticular complex (MAC). First, the implementation and the validation of original methodologies have enabled to assess elasticity, viscosity and friction of the MAC. The effects of cyclic and static stretching on these properties were then assessed. Changes in MAC mechanical properties induced by static stretching could mainly be explained...
