The purpose of this study is to analyze the values of the stiffness of different segments (proximal, distal and medial) of patellar tendon with respect to Hoffa Fat Pad, which will postulate to the framework in understanding the area bearing more force (stress) for the patellar tendon. It can help in understanding and avoiding the patellar tendon rupture or tendinopathy. Three volunteers were selected for the current study and were classified into three arrangements (weak, normal and obese) according to their Body Mass Index. The first …
