@ankushaggarwal Dear author, thanks for this submission. I am the AEiC on this track and here to help process the initial steps. Before we proceed, please can you have a look at the following points:

• Please spell out UK as United Kingdom in your affiliations.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

I'll assign myself as editor as soft tissue biomechanics is part of my expertise, and other editors in this domain are currently busy handling other submissions. So I will be the editor responsible for finding reviewers here and you can address me if you have any questions.

[Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman]

@editorialbot assign me as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @Kevin-Mattheus-Moerman is now the editor

@ankushaggarwal apologies for the delay in finding reviewers so far. I will pick this up again the coming week and hope to find some suitable reviewers then. In the meantime, if you'd like to suggest reviewers let me know. You can mention their GitHub handles here, but leave out the @ symbol, so they are not tagged.
