Relationships between simulated muscle forces, tissue displacements, and strains in FE models. A: In the sliding model, distal displacements in the proximal free tendon decreased with increasing muscle forces and equivalent strains increased with muscle force. Force-strain relationships were similar between the gastrocnemius subtendons but differed in the soleus subtendon. B: In the absence of sliding subtendons, differential displacements were negligible and force-strain relationships were altered for all three subtendons.
