Combining in silico and in vitro experiments to characterize the role of fascicle twist in the Achilles tendon
10 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
The Achilles tendon (AT), the largest tendon in the human body has a unique structural feature, that is the fascicles in the AT display spiral twist. However, their functional and structural roles are still unclear. We used subject-specific computational models and tissue mechanical experiment to quantitatively characterize the role of fascicle twist in the Achilles tendon. Ten subject-specific finite element...
