Combining in silico and in vitro experiments to characterize the role of fascicle twist in the Achilles tendon

The Achilles tendon (AT), the largest tendon in the human body has a unique structural feature, that is the fascicles in the AT display spiral twist. However, their functional and structural roles are still unclear. We used subject-specific computational models and tissue mechanical experiment to qu...
