Tendons and ligaments are connective tissues that serve as the force transmitting entities and enable musculoskeletal motion. Typical features of normal tendon tissue are parallel-aligned collagen I fibers and tenocytes. Moreover, the extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of proteoglycans, glycoproteins,...

The mechanical environment is a key input for maintaining the tendon's structure and function. Tenocytes acknowledge a homeostatic set point that is presented in the form of cytoskeletal tension and connections to the ECM. Mechanical signals including tension, compression, shear, and hydrostatic pressur...
Tendon Structure Tendon Function Tendon Injuries Lesson Summary Frequently Asked Questions Can injured tendons heal on their own? Depending upon the type of damage, some injured tendons will be able to recover on their own if given rest and time to heal. In some cases, surgery will be require...
Upon reviewing existing computational models within this conceptual framework of the Achilles tendon structure and function, we demonstrate that a great deal of theoretical and experimental research remains to be done before there are reliably predictive multiscale computational model of Achilles tendon in...

(ECM) potentially are the causative factor for these results. However further, more elaborate biomechanical testing and tendon structure-function analyses are required to explain these findings. Moreover, it needs to be considered that aged tendons underlie long-term biochemical changes such as the ...

The effects of a 5 脳 60 s static stretching exercise changes the muscle-tendon functions (RoM, MVC), which are related to mechanical changes of the muscle but not the tendon structure, respectively. Although the functional changes last for at least 10 min, changes in muscle stiffness were ...
While "sinew" might be used in a general sense to refer to injuries of strong, fibrous tissues, medical professionals specify injuries as tendonitis, tendinopathy, or ligament sprains, reflecting a more precise understanding of the structure and function of tendons. 8 Despite their differences, ...
