Abstract Summary
Shear wave tensiometry is a non-invasive approach that enables the in vivo measurement of tendon stress based on wave propagation speed. Here, both transient and standing wave analyses are used to measure wave speed in isolated tendons subjected to cyclic axial loading. Wave speeds increased monotonically with loading for both methods but were consistently greater using the transient analysis in comparison to those of the standing wave analysis.
