Collagen Fiber Re-Alignment and Uncrimping in Response to Loading: Determining Structure-Function Relationships Using a Developmental Tendon Mouse Model
Collagen fiber re-alignment and uncrimping are postulated mechanisms of structural response to load. It has been suggested that fibers re-orient in the direction of load and then "uncrimp" before collagen is tensioned and that in general, the structure is a result of the function tendons perform. However, little is known about how fiber re-alignment and uncrimping change in response to load, ho...
متن کاملPARAMETRIC STUDY ON RAILWAY FASTENING SYSTEM RESPONSE SUBJECTED TO DIFFERENT AXLE LOAD
There are several factors causing fastening systems to deteriorate faster than the designed life. The high repetitive loads from a moving train being one of the main factors, track irregularities, design and installation defects of track components, non-uniform rail support stiffness, unevenness in the rail seat deterioration are some of the factors causing fastenings systems to deteriorate fas...
متن کاملEffects of flunixin meglumine on experimental tendon wound healing: A histopathological and mechanical study in rabbits
Tendons are frequently targets of injury in sports and work. Whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have beneficial effects on tendon healing is still a matter of debate. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of flunixin meglumine (FM) on tendon healing after experimentally induced acute trauma. Twenty eight adult male New Zealand White rabbits were subjected to complete t...
متن کاملAdaptational responses of the human Achilles tendon by modulation of the applied cyclic strain magnitude.
Tendons are able to remodel their mechanical and morphological properties in response to mechanical loading. However, there is little information about the effects of controlled modulation in cyclic strain magnitude applied to the tendon on the adaptation of tendon's properties in vivo. The present study investigated whether the magnitude of the mechanical load induced as cyclic strain applied ...
متن کاملInjured Achilles Tendon Exhibits Inferior Mechanical and Structural Response During Fatigue Loading
Introduction Achilles tendon ruptures occur frequently and result in significant pain and disability with extensive recovery time. Since the Achilles tendon experiences repetitive loads at or near failure during normal activity, knowledge of tendon fatigue properties is critical for determining when patients may resume normal activity. Several studies have suggested the benefits of fatigue test...
