Ligaments connect bone across a joint and function to resist tensile loads that would tend to separate the joint. During daily activities ligaments experience sustained and repeated loads. Ligaments may become damaged under the actions of these loads if the load is high or the duration of time exposed to the load is long. The mechanics of damage of ligaments exposed to sustained and repeated loads can be measured and compared between undamaged and damaged ligaments. Examining the structural components that make up ligament may provide insight into what is being damaged and whether it is different if the load is sustained or repeated.

韧带将骨头连接到关节上，并功能可抵抗倾向于分离关节的拉伸负荷。 在日常活动中，韧带经历了持续和重复的负载。 如果负载高或暴露于负载的持续时间很长，则韧带在这些负载的作用下可能会损坏。 可以测量暴露于持续和重复载荷的韧带损伤的力学，并在未受损和受损的韧带之间进行比较。 检查构成韧带的结构成分可能会洞悉被损坏的内容以及是否持续或重复负载是否有所不同。
