Extramuscular myofascial force transmission: experiments and finite element modeling.
The specific purpose of the present study was to show that extramuscular myofascial force transmission exclusively has substantial effects on muscular mechanics. Muscle forces exerted at proximal and distal tendons of the rat extensor digitorium longus (EDL) were measured simultaneously, in two conditions (1) with intact extramuscular connections (2) after dissecting the muscles' extramuscular ...
متن کاملExtramuscular myofascial force transmission alters substantially the acute effects of surgical aponeurotomy: assessment by finite element modeling.
Effects of extramuscular myofascial force transmission on the acute effects of aponeurotomy were studied using finite element modeling and implications of such effects on surgery were discussed. Aponeurotomized EDL muscle of the rat was modeled in two conditions: (1) fully isolated (2) with intact extramuscular connections. The specific goal was to assess the alterations in muscle length-force ...
متن کاملExtramuscular myofascial force transmission within the rat anterior tibial compartment: proximo-distal differences in muscle force.
Intramuscular connective tissues are continuous to extramuscular connective tissues. If force is transmitted there, differences should be present between force at proximal and distal attachments of muscles. Extensor digitorum longus (EDL), tibialis anterior (TA), and extensor hallucis longus muscles (EHL) were excited simultaneously and maximally. Only EDL length was changed, exclusively by mov...
متن کاملA lumped stiffness model of intermuscular and extramuscular myofascial pathways of force transmission
Mechanical behavior of skeletal muscles is commonly modeled under the assumption of mechanical independence between individual muscles within a muscle group. Epimuscular myofascial force transmission via the connective tissue network surrounding a muscle challenges this assumption as it alters the force distributed to the tendons of individual muscles. This study aimed to derive a lumped estima...
متن کاملExtramuscular myofascial force transmission also occurs between synergistic muscles and antagonistic muscles.
The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that myofascial force transmission may not be limited by compartmental boundaries of a muscle group to synergists. Muscles of the anterior tibial compartment in rat hindlimb as well as of the neighbouring peroneal compartment (antagonistic muscles) were excited maximally. Length-force data, based on proximal lengthening, of EDL, as wel...
