Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Quantified in vivo deformations of the human free Achilles tendon during walking. • Coupled custom ultrasound elastography with quantitative motion capture. • Superficial and deep free Achilles tendon regions undergo different deformations. • Non-uniform deformations may reflect sliding between tendon fascicles. • Relevant to the coordination of triceps surae muscle forces during walking.
