الوصف: Muscle–tendon power output is commonly assessed in the laboratory through the work loop, a paired analysis of muscle force and length during a cyclic task. Work-loop analysis of muscle–tendon function in out-of-lab conditions has been elusive due to methodological limitations. In this work, we combined kinetic and kinematic measures from shear wave tensiometry and inertial measurement units, respectively, to establish a wearable system for estimating work and power output from the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles during outdoor locomotion. Across 11 healthy young adults, we amassed 4777 strides of walking on slopes from −10° to +10°. Results showed that soleus work scales with incline, while gastrocnemius work is relatively insensitive to incline. These findings agree with previous results from laboratory-based studies while expanding technological capabilities by enabling wearable analysis of muscle–tendon kinetics. Applying this system in additional settings and activities could improve biomechanical knowledge and evaluation of protocols in scenarios such as rehabilitation, device design, athletics, and military training.
