Different mechanisms activated by mild versus strong loading in rat Achilles tendon healing.

Different mechanisms activated by mild versus strong loading in rat Achilles tendon healing.

BACKGROUND:Mechanical loading stimulates Achilles tendon healing. However, various degrees of loading appear to have different effects on the mechanical properties of the healing tendon, and strong loading might create microdamage in the tissue. This suggests that different mechanisms might be activ...
