“…Another application refers to the prevention and treatment of orthopaedic complaints. Achilles tendinopathy is associated with a thickened plantar fascia 32 , plantar fasciitis 33 , 34 has been shown to be associated with increased Hamstrings stiffness and sacroiliac pain correlates with altered activation of the latissimus dorsi muscle 35 , 36 . Possibly, these non-local symptoms represent a result of altered force transmission and may be resolved or alleviated by focussed treatments based on myofascial chains.…”

A recent in-vivo experiment has shown that force can be transmitted between the gastrocnemius and the hamstring muscles due to a direct tissue continuity. However, it remains unclear if this mechanical interaction is affected by the stiffness of the structural connection. This study therefore aimed to investigate the impact of the knee angle on myofascial force transmission across the dorsal knee. A randomized, cross-over study was performed, including n = 56 healthy participants (25.36 ± 3.9 years, 25 females). On two separate days, they adopted a prone position on an isokinetic dynamometer (knee extended or 60° flexed). In each condition, the device moved the ankle three times from maximal plantarflexion to maximal dorsal extension. Muscle inactivity was ensured using EMG. High-resolution ultrasound videos of the semimembranosus (SM) and the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) soft tissue were recorded. Maximal horizontal tissue displacement, obtained using cross-correlation, was examined as a surrogate of force transmission. SM tissue displacement was higher at extended (4.83 ± 2.04 mm) than at flexed knees (3.81 ± 2.36 mm). Linear regression demonstrated significant associations between (1) SM and GM soft tissue displacement (extended: R2 = 0.18, p = 0.001; flexed: R2 = 0.17, p = 0.002) as well as (2) SM soft tissue displacement and ankle range of motion (extended: R2 = 0.103, p = 0.017; flexed: R2 = 0.095, p = 0.022). Our results further strengthen the evidence that local stretching induces a force transmission to neighboring muscles. Resulting remote exercise effects such as increased range of motion, seem to depend on the stiffness of the continuity.Trial registration: DRKS (Deutsches Register Klinischer Studien), registration number DRKS00024420, first registered 08/02/2021, https://drks.de/search/de/trial/DRKS00024420.

“…Out of 540 participants across all the studies, 87 participants were from the RCTs and the rest of all (453 participants) were from the remaining study groups (17 trials). Most of the trial participants were healthy individuals except two trails, one of which had 20 participants with sacroiliac dysfunction (Joseph et al, 2014) and the other one had 15 cerebral palsy males (de Bruin et al, 2011) as the participants.…”

Background: The fascial system provides an environment that enables all body systems to operate in an integrated manner and is capable of modifying its tensional state in response to the stress applied to it. Recent in vitro, animal and cadaveric studies have shown that “myofascial force transfer” (MFT) has the potential to play a major role in musculoskeletal function and dysfunction.Objective: Human evidence for the existence of invivo MFT is scarce. This scoping review attempts to gather and analyse the available evidence of the in-vivo human MFT studies in order to sustain and facilitate further research and evidence based practice in this field.Methods: A search of most major databases was conducted with relevant keywords that yielded 238 articles as of August 2020. A qualitative analysis of the studies was conducted after rating it with Oxford’s Center for Evidence –based Medicine (CEBM) scale.Result: Nineteen studies ranging from randomized controlled trials to case studies covering 540 patients were included in this review. The analysed studies were highly heterogeneous and of lower methodological quality meddling with the quantitative analysis. Ten studies are confirming a ‘most likely’ existence of MFT, eight studies confirming it as ‘likely’ and one study couldn’t confirm any MFT existence in this review.Conclusion: Findings from in vivo human studies supports the animal and cadaveric studies claiming the existence of MFT which need to be corroborated by the future high quality studies. Forthcoming studies on MFT may give answers and solutions to many of the human musculoskeletal mysteries or dysfunctions.

“…Furthermore, malfunction in this system reduces strength, speed and performance [7]. The anatomical and myofascial linkages between the lumbopelvic region and the contralateral glenohumeral joint suggest that sacroiliac joint dysfunction may affect force transmission to the contralateral glenohumeral joint [8,9].…”

Introduction: Overhead movement demands optimal pelvic and scapular stability and alignment for efficient energy transfer during shoulder movements. Throughout a sports game, hyperactivity of the pelvic and scapular musculature might affect performance. As a result, we can establish goals for muscle strength and injury prevention. To study the muscles activation of posterior oblique sling muscles (POS) in different hip positions (Standing, Sitting and Lunge) with three different shoulder movements (flexion, extension & abduction) among a sportsman population.Material and methods: Muscle activation was recorded by surface electromyography in 38 male athletes of different sports cricket (bowlers)-10; baseball-9; volleyball-9; control group (recreational overhead)-10. Maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) measurements were collected in order to compare muscular activation. Every player performed shoulder flexion, abduction and extension in standing, sitting and lunge positions.Results: Significant differences in muscle activity were noted using a 3-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post hoc test. The results of the study showed statistically significant interactions between individual groups, positions and muscles with shoulder movements (p = 0.001) and a pairwise comparison between subjects showed a significant difference (p = <0.05).Conclusions: All hip position changes may be beneficial in scapular rehabilitation training because more muscles are employed. However, in shoulder extension motions, posterior oblique sling muscles are activated more than abduction muscles. While sitting, the serratus anterior is the most active muscle, more than the lower trapezius, latissimus dorsi, and gluteus maximus.
