Micro-deformation as measured using the tenocyte nuclei as fiducial markers: (a) shows the deformation within extensor fascicles (images at 0% and 10% applied strain) and (b) within flexor fascicles (again with images at 0% and 10% applied strain). The nuclei used for analysis in this particular extensor sample are numbered. Neither fibre strain nor sliding was significantly affected by fatigue damage caused by creep loading.
