Elements of what we call myofascial force transmission today have been on peoples mind
for a long time, usually implicitly, sometimes quite explicitly. A lot is there to be learned from …

The classic view of skeletal muscle is that force is generated within its muscle fibers and
then directly transmitted in‐series, usually via tendon, onto the skeleton. In contrast, recent …

Some symptoms related to disequilibrium may not be detected by a clinical exam. Therefore,
objective study is important in assessing balance. In this paper, methods to measure …

Fifteen unembalmed cadavers were dissected in order to study the “anatomical continuity”
between the various muscles involved in the movement of flexion of the upper limb. This …

Advances in muscle physiology suggest that the perimysium plays a role in the transmission
of lateral contractile forces. This hypothesis is strongly supported by our recent …

The aim of this study was to analyse the organization of the deep fascia of the pectoral
region and of the thigh. Six unembalmed cadavers (four men, two women, age range 48–93 …

Sarcomere length changes are central to force production and excursion of skeletal muscle.
Previous modeling indicates non-uniformity of that if mechanical interaction of muscle with …

The specific aim of this paper is to review the effects of epimuscular myofascial force
transmission on muscular mechanics and present some new results on finite element …

AIM: Analysis of the pectoral fascia from a macroscopic and histological point of view.
RESULTS: The pectoral fascia appears as a thin collagen layer (mean thickness of 297μm) …

This study investigated the effect of the prone trunk extension test (PTE) on lumbar and
lower limb muscle stiffness to explore the optimal angle for lumbar muscle training …
