In collaboration with Prof Michael Schwartz from the University o Minnesota (MN, USA), Ass-Prof Hans Kainz showed how to compute muscle-tendon length in a consistent, easy and fast way. This work might be helpful for clinical gait laboratories with little musculoskeletal modelling experience. The paper is freely available with the following link: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2021.04.039
