  "summary": "Tendons are generally regarded as passive structures that transmit muscle force to bone, yet they contain the Golgi tendon organ (GTO), whose Ib afferents act on motor neurons either inhibitory or excitatory depending on movement context. Whether a change in tendon mechanical properties alters the neural drive to muscle during movement remains unknown. We therefore recorded electromyography (EMG)…",
