Tendon remodeling in response to metabolic cost.
Tracking geometric changes in four sample tendons with initial geometries corresponding with points A, B, C and D over 720 days of simulation. a-d) Total metabolic cost, mean tendon length, fiber length standard deviation, mechanical damage rate and proteolytic damage rate plots over 720 days for paths A-D respectively.
