WEEK11: Biomechanics of Tendons and Ligaments:
Passive structures- tendons, ligaments, joint capsules.
Ligament and joint capsule-prevention of excessive motion, enhance mechanical stability, guide the joint motion. Tendons- attach muscles to the bones and transmission of tensile loads Both are Viscoelastic tissues. Visco - a small amount of load results in deformation (relative).
Elastic - refers to Elastic Region can sustain high tensile loads for longer period but not as much as muscles can. Flexible to allow changes in direction of muscle pull, Prevent load injury for extended time period. When load is great enough to cause injury, damage is dependent on: rate and amount of load
