of species and intervention methods. We categorized the methods of reducing the mechanical force into three categories: loss of muscle, muscle dysfunction, and regulating the weight‐bearing (Figure 3). In contrast, the studies in which the mechanical force increased models were few.

Tendons transmit the muscle contraction forces to bones and drive joint movement throughout life. While extensive research have indicated the essentiality of mechanical forces on tendon development, a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental role of mechanical forces still needs to be impaerted. This scoping review aimed to summarize the curr...
