Mechanical properties of tendons and ligaments: II. The relationships of immobilization and exercise on tissue remodeling
Abstract
The primary goal of this investigation is to study whether soft tissue homeostatic responses secondary to decrease or increase in physiological stress levels and range of motion are a change of mechanical properties or a change of mass, or both. Two experimental animal studies are presented. One is a stress and motion deprivation study by immobilization of a rabbit knee, and the other is an increase in stress and motion study by running exercise of the miniature swine. The findings are that changes in stress and motion significantly altered the tissue properties as well as mass in the case of ligaments and digital extensor tendons. Whereas, no significant changes in properties and mass were detected for the digital flexor tendons. Possible mechanisms of the difference in tissue responses to stress and motion are discussed, and nonlinear relationships between stress and tissue remodeling are suggested.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
