Associations between Range of Motion and Tissue Stiffness in Young and Older People
KOSUKE HIRATA, RYOSUKE YAMADERA, RYOTA AKAGIThis study investigated what limits ankle flexibility in young versus older men. Researchers measured passive ankle range of motion and used ultrasound to assess the stiffness of calf muscles, the sciatic nerve, and the…

Associations between Range of Motion and Tissue Stiffness in Young and Older People
KOSUKE HIRATA, RYOSUKE YAMADERA, RYOTA AKAGIThis study investigated what limits ankle range of motion (dorsiflexion) in young versus older men. Researchers measured the stiffness of the calf muscles, sciatic nerve, and deep fascia, comparing it to the participant…

Alterations of Extracellular Matrix Mechanical Properties Contribute to Age-Related Functional Impairment of Human Skeletal Muscles
Piero Pavan, Elena Monti, Michela Bond, Chenglei Fan, Carla Stecco, Marco Narici, Carlo Reggiani, Lorenzo MarcucciMuscles tend to get stiffer with age, and this study investigated why. Researchers compared muscle tissue from young and elderly individuals, testing the passive resistance of both individual muscle fibers and bundles o…

Painful Connections: Densification Versus Fibrosis of Fascia
P G Pavan, Antonio Stecco, R Stern, Carla SteccoIn this review article, the authors describe two types of fascial changes that can cause pain: densification and fibrosis. Densification is described as a reversible alteration in the viscosity of the loose connective t…

114. What happens to the Fascia as we get older
As we get older, the body's production of collagen changes – which affects the network of Fascia that surrounds every single cell in the entire body. At the same time, the flow itself decreases, as d…

59. Is your Fascia acidic?
What does it mean if the body is acidic, alkaline, or neutral? What systems regulate the pH balance in the body, and what happens when we become too acidic? New research shows how the Fascia takes ov…
