A vertical jump or vertical leap is the act of raising one's center of gravity higher in the vertical plane solely with the use of one's own muscles; it is a measure of how high an individual or athlete can elevate off the ground (jump) from a standstill. Contents.
Tendon excursion takes place as the muscle contracts and the joint rotates. The amount of tendon excursion is related to the amount of the joint rotation. A pulley-type constraint keeps the tendon path close to the bone when the tendon crosses a joint.roper excursion and gliding of the tendon determine the efficiency of this function. Studies of the tendon excursion and gliding based on two simple mechanical concepts have resulted in several significant clinical implications.
If the tendon has been severely injured, a tendon graft may be required. This is a procedure in which a piece of tendon is taken from the foot or other part of the body and used to repair the damaged tendon.If required, tendons are reattached to the surrounding connective tissue.o repair a torn tendon, incisions are made to expose the area for repair (A). Some tendons can be reattached through one incision (B), while others require two to access the severed point and the remaining tendon (C).
