Mean UTS Values ± standard deviation, determined during the course of this work for tendon fascicles without fatigue loading and actual percentage of the UTS applied during creep testing.
| Tendon type | UTS (MPa) | Percentage UTS applied during creep |
|---|---|---|
| Human Semitendinosus | 101.27±26.29 | 35.6% |
| Bovine Flexor | 78.78±22.24 | 36.6% |
| Bovine Extensor | 107.77±55.05 | 26.7% |
UTS: ultimate tensile strength.
