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.

韧带连接整个关节的骨骼，其作用是抵抗可能导致关节分离的拉伸载荷。 在日常活动中，韧带承受持续和重复的负荷。 如果负荷高或暴露于负荷的持续时间长，则韧带可能在这些负荷的作用下受损。 暴露于持续和重复载荷的韧带损伤的力学可以在未损伤和损伤的韧带之间进行测量和比较。 检查组成韧带的结构部件可以了解什么是损坏，以及如果负载持续或重复是否不同。
