The fascial system builds a three-dimensional continuum of soft, collagen-containing, loose
and dense fibrous connective tissue that permeates the body and enables all body systems …

Myotonometry is a relatively novel method used to quantify the biomechanical and
viscoelastic properties (stiffness, compliance, tone, elasticity, creep, mechanical relaxation) …

The ubiquitous network of fascial tissues in the human body is usually regarded as a
passive contributor to musculoskeletal dynamics. This review aims to highlight the current …

Abstract Changes in the mechanical properties (ie, stiffness) of soft tissues have been linked
to musculoskeletal disorders, pain conditions, and cancer biology, leading to a rising …

There is increasing evidence that subjects who are exposed to long sitting periods suffer
from musculoskeletal discomfort and back pain. The underlying mechanism and effective …

Context: Foam rolling (FR) increases joint range of motion (RoM), but the optimal training
parameters are unknown. Objective: To investigate the effect of FR velocity on RoM and …

While it is generally recognized that prolonged sitting periods at work can harm the
locomotor system, little attention has been paid to the impact of sitting behavior on muscle …

Changes in tissue stiffness are associated with pathological conditions such as myofascial
pain and increased risk of muscle injury. Furthermore, they have been shown to modify …

Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of a seat-integrated mobilization
system on motion activity, muscle stiffness and discomfort during prolonged driving. Method …

In modern Western societies, sedentary behavior has become a growing health concern.
There is increasing evidence that prolonged sitting periods can be associated with …
