a flat sheet or ribbon of tendonlike material that anchors a muscle or connects it with the part that the muscle moves. Basically a tendon that connects a muscle to a bone or another muscle.

They are basically the same thing......connecting muscles to bones but tendons are cord-like and aponeurosis is sheetlike.Describe the difference between a tendon and an aponeurosis
A long flat muscle is characterized as a flat muscle.
An aponeurosis is a broad flat sheet of connective tissue that serves as a tendon to attach muscles to one another or to bones. It helps distribute the force of muscular contractions over a broad area, providing strength and support. Aponeuroses are commonly found in anatomical locations where large and powerful muscles need to attach or wrap around bones.
Flat tendon is the aponeurosis which is derived from the superficial fascia situated at the sole of the foot and on the palm. Thus it is called according to the region (ie palmar aponeurosis and plantar aponeurosis)
One end of a tendon comes from the end of a muscle while the other end is attached to a bone. Some tendons are round while others are flat. Tendons also differ in length and thickness.
Posterior tibial tendon insufficiency is the most common cause of adult-flat foot deformities. The tendon degenerates and bony deformities begin to occur in later stages.
It is a or
flat-footedness, a tight Achilles tendon, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Aponeurosis is a flat tendon that connect muscles to bone.
