Mechanical stimulation has been
postulated as an essential factor in maintaining tendon
health, and there are indications it may be beneficial for
promoting tendon repair. Several in-vitro studies haveexamined the effects of mechanical stress on healthy
tendons by using loading frequencies of 0.01-3Hz since
such loading frequencies may occur during physical
exercise. More recently, studies have shown evidence for
the special effects of using high frequency low magnitude
(HFLM), loading regimes in promoting bone health and
counteracting bone disease. In this study, a novel in-vitro loading system (IVLS) has been developed with the aim of investigating the potential of HFLM stimulation for tendon repair
