Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fiber distribution and realignment on the nonlinear and inhomogeneous mechanical properties of human supraspinatus tendon under longitudinal tensile loading.
TL;DR: Fiber distributions were found to become more aligned under load, particularly during the low stiffness toe‐region, suggesting that fiber realignment may be partly responsible for observed nonlinear behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscoelastic properties of the human medial collateral ligament under longitudinal, transverse and shear loading.
TL;DR: Results suggest that the long‐time relaxation behavior and the short‐time dynamic energy dissipation of ligament may be governed by different viscoelastic mechanisms, yet these mechanisms may affect tissue viscoELasticity similarly under different loading configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rat supraspinatus tendon expresses cartilage markers with overuse.
Joanne M Archambault,Scott A. Jelinsky,Spencer P. Lake,Andrew A. Hill,David L. Glaser,Louis J. Soslowsky +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that by expressing more cartilage genes, the tendon is converting toward a fibrocartilage phenotype as a result of the repetitive loading and repeated compression of the tendon as it passes through the acromial arch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of the abdominal wall and biomaterials utilized for hernia repair
Corey R. Deeken,Spencer P. Lake +1 more
TL;DR: The studies reviewed here reported greater compliance of the linea alba, larger strains for the intact abdominal wall, and greater stiffness for the rectus sheath and umbilical fascia when the tissues were loaded in the longitudinal direction compared to transverse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tensile properties and fiber alignment of human supraspinatus tendon in the transverse direction demonstrate inhomogeneity, nonlinearity, and regional isotropy.
TL;DR: The results of this study greatly enhance current understanding of the properties of human SST and provide clinicians and scientists with vital information in attempting to treat or replace this complex tissue.
