Modelling extracellular matrix and cellular contributions to whole muscle mechanics

Comparison of model results to experimental data.
Comparison of model passive stress-stretch curves to experimental data for skeletal muscle. (A) Gives the model with a parameter of sECM = 150, while (B) is the model with a parameter of sECM = 250. α was varied between 0.02—0.20, which corresponds to 2—20% volume fraction of ECM. The grey lines represent experimental data from Takaza et al. [48] (circle) and Mohammadkhah et al. [44] (dot). Error bars represent ± standard deviation when available.
