Abstract

Details and concepts of intramuscular, extramuscular and intermuscular previous termmyofascialnext term force transmission are reviewed. Some new experimental data are added regarding previous termmyofascialnext term force transmission between antagonistic muscles across the interosseal membrane of the lower hind limb of the rat. Combined with other result presented in this issue, it can be concluded that previous termmyofascialnext term force transmission occurs between all muscles within a limb segment. This means that force generated within sarcomeres of an antagonistic muscle may be exerted at the tendon of target muscle or its synergists.
