Abstract:Tendons transmit the muscle contraction forces to bones and drive joint movement throughout life. While extensive research have indicated the essentiality of mechanical forces on tendon development, a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental role of mechanical forces still needs to be impaerted. This scoping review aimed to summarize the current knowledge about the role of mechanical forces during the tendon developmental phase. The electronic database search using PubMed, performed in May 2023, yielded … Show more
