(Left) Tendon strength significantly improved by up to 40% when the fascicle twist angle is <30° (n = 10 with *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). (Right) Sensitivity analysis revealed that tissue strength improves with increases in CSA, stiffness and fascicle angle. However, Twist angle contributes less to the tissue strength than either stiffness or CSA (n = 10 with *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001) [error bars represent standard deviation].
