The Distal Free Achilles Tendon Is Longer in People with Tendinopathy than in Controls: A Retrospective Case-Control Study

Figure 4

The distribution of (a) free Achilles tendon length and (b) Achilles tendon length as a percent of height between cases and controls. The coloured boxplots represent the interquartile ranges, which contain 50% of individual subjects’ lengths. The thick black line represents the median. The whiskers are lines that extend from the box to the highest and the lowest values, except outliers (small circles). A significant difference was found between the midportion cases and controls.
