Effects of epimuscular myofascial force transmission on sarcomere length of passive muscles in the rat hindlimb.
Results from imaging studies and finite element models suggest epimuscular myofascial effects on sarcomere lengths in series within muscle fibers. However, experimental evidence is lacking. We evaluated epimuscular myofascial effects on (1) muscle belly, fiber, and mean sarcomere length and (2) sarcomere length distribution within passive fibers of the rat tibialis anterior (TA) and soleus (SO)...
متن کاملAltered Length-force Characteristics and Epimuscular Myofascial Force Transmission in Spastic Rat Calf Muscles
The aims of the present study were to investigate the effects of spasticity (1) on muscle tendon unit (MTU) length-force characteristics of rat m. gastrocnemius (GAS), m. soleus (SOL) and m. plantaris (PL), and (2) on epimuscular myofascial force transmission between synergistic GAS, SOL and PL, as well as between the calf muscles and antagonistic m. tibialis anterior (TA). The effects of spast...
متن کاملSubstantial effects of epimuscular myofascial force transmission on muscular mechanics have major implications on spastic muscle and remedial surgery.
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 modeling of non-isolated aponeurotomized muscle in order to discuss the dependency of mechanics of spastic muscle, as well as surgery for restoration of function on such force transmission. The etiology of the effects of spasti...
متن کاملEpimuscular myofascial force transmission between antagonistic and synergistic muscles can explain movement limitation in spastic paresis.
Details and concepts of intramuscular, extramuscular and intermuscular myofascial force transmission are reviewed. Some new experimental data are added regarding myofascial force transmission between antagonistic muscles across the interosseal membrane of the lower hind limb of the rat. Combined with other result presented in this issue, it can be concluded that myofascial force transmission oc...
متن کاملMRI Assessment of Passive Muscular Mechanics in vivo Using Intensity Based Nonrigid B-spline Registration: Effects of Epimuscular Myofascial Force Transmission
Introduction: In addition to myotendinous pathways, important pathways for transmission of muscle force are comprised by connective tissue structures providing mechanical linkage between muscles and neighboring muscular and nonmuscular tissues [e.g., 1]. Experimentally and using finite element modeling, such epimuscular myofascial force transmission (EMFT) [2] has been shown to affect muscular ...
