Surgical Mobilization of Skeletal Muscles Changes Functional Properties—Implications for Tendon Transfers

Fascial Nomenclature: Update 2021, Part 1

“…All proteins and other molecular compounds contribute to the final function of the myofascial system. When surgery is performed to transfer a tendon district to restore the function of a muscle, the microscopic and macroscopic components are damaged; the final function remains altered [34]. When an osteopathic or chiropractic treatment is performed on a myofascial area, everything that represents the worked structure improves; it is not possible to divide the purely contractile component from the purely elastic component [35,36].…”
