The purpose of the current review is to highlight the structure‐function relationship of
tendons and related structures to provide an overview for readers whose interest in tendons …

A tendon transfers force from the contracting muscle to the skeletal system to produce
movement and is therefore a crucial component of the entire muscle‐tendon complex and its …

Authored by experts of international renown, the new edition of The Biomechanics of Back
Pain forms a bridge between the latest research and the effective clinical management of …

Concurrent with a progressive loss of regenerative capacity, connective tissue aging is
characterized by a progressive accumulation of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) …

Muscle synergies provide a simple description of a complex motor control mechanism.
Synergies are extracted from muscle activation patterns using factorisation methods. Despite …

Here, we review the literature on how tendons respond and adapt to ageing and exercise.
With respect to aging, there are considerable changes early in life, but this seems to be …

The non-enzymatic reaction of proteins with glucose (glycation) is a topic of rapidly growing
importance in human health and medicine. There is increasing evidence that this reaction …

Mechanical cues affect tendon healing, homeostasis, and development in a variety of
settings. Alterations in the mechanical environment are known to result in changes in the …

Purpose: There is an increase in the incidence of Achilles tendon injuries as a result of the
participation in physical activity. It has been suggested that some individuals have a genetic …

Age-related loss in muscle mass and strength impairs daily life function in the elderly.
However, it remains unknown whether tendon properties also deteriorate with age. Cross …
