@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
