“…Fascia is continuous throughout the body, supporting various functions [8,[12][13]. Its continuity aids in force transmission both longitudinally and epimuscularly [14][15][16]. Through mechanotransduction, these forces may be transmitted at a cellular level, altering gene expression of fibroblasts and thereby changing the extracellular matrix composition [26][27][28].…”

“…Forces exerted by any one muscle are known to transmit longitudinally along the myotendinous junction to exert an action across a joint. However, these forces may also be transmitted epimuscularly between muscle fibers and fascial connective tissues [14][15][16]. For example, it has been shown that after transecting the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) tendon, a residual wrist flexion force remains when the FCU muscle was contracted [17].…”

Abstract-Fascia can be considered part of the connective tissues that permeate the human body. However, in medical training, its definition is not clear, and even among specialists, its role is not completely understood. Physiatrists have a unique opportunity to add to the growing scientific and clinical knowledge about fascia, particularly about how this connective tissue network may apply clinically to musculoskeletal disorders. In this narrative review, the structure and function of fascia are discussed from the perspective of physiatry.

The presence of structural in-series continuity between skeletal muscles has been confirmed in the trunk and lower extremity. However, it is not yet clear whether the same architecture can be found in the upper limb. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to review the available literature considering the existence of myofascial chains in the shoulder-arm region. Two independent investigators performed a systematic literature search using MEDLINE (PubMed) and Google Scholar (each 1900-2019). Peer-reviewed anatomical dissection studies reporting myofascial inseries continuity in the upper extremity were included. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed by the QUACS scale. Thirteen studies were included in the review. Analysis of these papers led to the identification of three myofascial chains: the ventral arm chain (pectoralis major, brachial fascia/biceps brachii, flexor carpi ulnaris/brachioradialis/supinator, based on five studies); the lateral arm chain (trapezius, deltoideus, lateral intermuscular septum/brachialis, brachioradialis, four studies); and the dorsal arm chain (latissiumus dorsi/teres minor/infraspinatus, triceps brachii, anconeus, extensor carpi ulnaris, six studies). There is good evidence for direct serial tissue continuity extending from the neck and shoulder region to the forearm. Despite this intriguing finding, which could have implications for health professionals and the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, further research is needed to establish the mechanical relevance of the identified myofascial chains.
