Mechanical interactions between muscles have been shown for in situ conditions. In vivo data humans is unavailable. Global and local length changes of calf were studied to test the hypothesis that strains may occur also within muscle which global strain equals zero.For determination globally induced m. gastrocnemius dissected human cadavers several knee joint angles imposed, while keeping ankle angle constant measuring its muscle-tendon complex changes. both soleus calculated using MRI...
Evidence on epimuscular myofascial force transmission (EMFT) was shown for undissected muscle in situ. We hypothesize that global length changes of gastrocnemius muscle-tendon complex vivo will cause sizable and heterogeneous local strains within all muscles the human lower leg. Our goal is to test this hypothesis. A method developed validated using high-resolution 3D magnetic resonance image sets Demons nonrigid registration algorithm performing large deformation analyses. Calculation...
The term fascia is increasingly used not only by anatomists but also other professionals and authors in different health-oriented fields. This goes along with an inconsistent usage of the term, which many tissues are included causing increasing amount confusion. Fascia Research Society acted to address this issue establishing a Nomenclature Committee (FNC) purpose clarifying terminology relating fascia. committee conducted elaborate Delphi process foster structured consensus debate among...
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 rat extensor digitorium longus (EDL) were measured simultaneously, in two conditions (1) with intact connections (2) after dissecting muscles' a maximum extent without endangering circulation innervation (as most situ muscle experiments). A finite element model EDL including used...
Background : Effects of extramuscular connective tissues on muscle force (experimentally measured) and lengths sarcomeres (modeled) were investigated in rat. It was hypothesized that changes muscle-relative position affect the distribution within fibers. Method approach: The extensor digitorum longus (EDL) relative to intact anterior crural compartment manipulated without changing its muscle-tendon complex length. Results: Significant effects EDL proximal distal forces found, indicating...
Abstract Stroke is one of the leading causes adult disability affecting millions people worldwide. Post‐stroke cognitive and motor impairments diminish quality life functional independence. There an increased risk having a second stroke developing secondary conditions with long‐term social economic impacts. With increasing number incidents, shortage medical professionals limited budgets, health services are struggling to provide care that can break vicious cycle stroke. Effective post‐stroke...
Comparative data on the mechanical properties of epidural catheters used clinically are not available. We performed a controlled laboratory investigation to assess performance three different intact or traumatized catheter types (Polyurethane, clear nylon, and radiopaque nylon catheters, designed for 18-gauge Tuohy needles). studied control (intact) two trauma groups (needle bevel surgical blade). Catheters were loaded their breaking points by using Lloyd LS500 material testing machine...
Background: Myofascial force transmission occurs between muscles (intermuscular myofascial transmission) and from to surrounding nonmuscular structures such as neurovascular tracts bone (extramuscular transmission). The purpose was investigate the mechanical role of epimuscular connections (the integral system inter- extramuscular connections) well isolated on test hypothesis, if are prestrained. Method approach: Length-force characteristics extensor hallucis longus (EHL) muscle rat were...
