The interfascicular matrix enables fascicle sliding and recovery in tendon, and behaves more elastically in energy storing tendons.

Thorpe CT1, Godinho MS2, Riley GP3, Birch HL4, Clegg PD5, Screen HR2.
Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials.J Mech Behav Biomed Mater.2015 Dec;52:85-94. doi: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2015.04.009. Epub 2015 Apr 16.
While the predominant function of all tendons is to transfer force from muscle to bone and position the limbs, some tendons additionally function as energy stores, reducing the cost of locomotion. Energy storing tendons experience extremely high strains and need to be able to recoil efficiently for

Distinct functional roles of primate grasping hands and feet during arboreal quadrupedal locomotion.

Patel BA1, Wallace IJ2, Boyer DM3, Granatosky MC3, Larson SG4, Stern JT Jr4.
Journal of human evolution.J Hum Evol.2015 Nov;88:79-84. doi: 10.1016/j.jhevol.2015.09.004. Epub 2015 Oct 28.
It has long been thought that quadrupedal primates successfully occupy arboreal environments, in part, by relying on their grasping feet to control balance and propulsion, which frees their hands to test unstable branches and forage. If this interlimb decoupling of function is real, there should be
