The thoracolumbar fascia: anatomy, function and clinical considerations

TL;DR: The three‐dimensional structure of the TLF and its caudally positioned composite will be analyzed in light of recent studies concerning the cellular organization of fascia, as well as its innervation.

An acute bout of self-myofascial release increases range of motion without a subsequent decrease in muscle activation or force.

TL;DR: In conclusion, an acute bout of SMR of the quadriceps was an effective treatment to acutely enhance knee joint ROM without a concomitant deficit in muscle performance.

Immediate effect of forearm Kinesio taping on maximal grip strength and force sense in healthy collegiate athletes.

TL;DR: Forearm Kinesio taping may enhance either related or absolute force sense in healthy collegiate athletes, however, KinesIO taping did not result in changes in maximal grip strength in healthy subjects.

The relationship between the stomatognathic system and body posture.

TL;DR: The present study aims to review the papers that have shown a relationship between the stomatognathic system and body posture and discusses the role the myofascial system plays in posture to improve the understanding of muscular-skeletal disorders that are associated with temporomandibular joint disorders, occlusal changes, and tooth loss.

Effects of self-myofascial release: A systematic review

TL;DR: There is conflicting evidence whether SMFR can improve flexibility long-term, but SMFR appears to have a range of potentially valuable effects for both athletes and the general population, including increasing flexibility and enhancing recovery.

The fifth discipline - the art and practice of the learning organization

TL;DR: Senge's Fifth Discipline is a set of principles for building a "learning organization" as discussed by the authors, where people expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nutured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are contually learning together.

Muscles alive, their functions revealed by electromyography

TL;DR: The first logical deduction of muscle-generated electricity was first documented by Italian Francesco Redi in 1666 as discussed by the authors, who suspected that thenshock of the electric ray fish was muscular in origin and wrote, lIt appeared to me as if the painful action was located innthese two sickle-shaped bodies, or muscles, more than any other part of the body.

What is the role of the nervous system in fascia?

The paper suggests that the nervous system and fascia are intimately connected, with stimulation of sensory receptors in fascia leading to a lowering of sympathetic tonus and a change in local tissue viscosity.
