But muscle tendons - particularly the Achilles tendon in the back of the calf - are known to stretch and contract like rubber bands.

Look at that muscle tendon.

Most of the lengthening and shortening occurs in the respective muscle tendons which have greater elasticity.

A stretch reflex, when the stretch is created by a blow upon a muscle tendon.

In the semifinals, he tore muscle tendons in his chest.

Other examples (followed by involved spinal nerves) are responses to stretch created by a blow upon a muscle tendon:

Unlike the proximal fracture fragment, strong ligaments and muscle tendons of the hand tend to pull this fragment out of its correct anatomical position.

Recovery rate is accelerated with use of this fresh plant poul tice on muscle, tendon and ligamentous injuries.

The supraspinatus is the most common muscle tendon involved in a rotator cuff tear.

When chronic, they can form cyst-like enlargements of the connective tissue around the sheaths of muscle tendons, becoming very painful when moved.
