Multiscale computational model of Achilles tendon wound healing: Untangling the effects of repair and loading.

Mechanical stimulation of the healing tendon is thought to regulate scar anisotropy and strength and is relatively easy to modulate through physical therapy. However, in vivo studies of various loading protocols in animal models have produced mixed results. To integrate and better understand the ava...
