Ankle Motion Is Associated With Soft Tissue Displacement in the Dorsal Thigh: An in vivo Investigation Suggesting Myofascial Force Transmission Across the Knee Joint
Jan Wilke, Heloise Debelle, Sarah Tenberg, Andrew Dilley, Constantinos MaganarisThis study investigated how ankle motion affects tissue in the back of the thigh. Researchers passively stretched the calves of healthy participants lying prone with an extended knee. Using ultrasound, they observed tha…

Overuse Injury: The Result of Pathologically Altered Myofascial Force Transmission?
Jan Wilke, Andry Vleeming, Scott WearingIn this narrative review, the authors propose a new perspective on overuse injuries. Traditionally, therapy focuses on the site of pain, viewing the injury as the result of local, repetitive microdamage. The authors hyp…

Myofascial Force Transmission via Extramuscular Pathways Occurs between Antagonistic Muscles
Peter A Huijing, Guus C BaanIn this experimental study, researchers investigated whether opposing (antagonistic) muscles act independently or influence each other through their fascial connections. By lengthening a lower leg muscle (extensor digit…

Myofascial force transmission between antagonistic rat lower limb muscles: Effects of single muscle or muscle group lengthening
Hanneke J M Meijer, Josina M Rijkelijkhuizen, Peter A HuijingIn this study on rats, researchers investigated how lengthening muscles on the front of the lower leg affects their neighbors. They observed that stretching one muscle group significantly changed the forces within an ad…
