Experimental setup for assessment of active hamstring muscle-tendon stiffness. Subjects were fitted with a rigid ankle splint, a load corresponding to 25% MVIC, and a tri-axial accelerometer (circled in red). A member of the research team applied a downward manual perturbation (indicated by the downward black arrow) to obtain the damped oscillation which was viewed and analyzed offline.
