Force transmission and interactions between synergistic muscles
2023
The classical view of muscles as independent motors has been challenged over the past decades. An alternative view has emerged in which muscles are not isolated but embedded in a three-dimensional connective tissue network that links them to adjacent muscles and other non-muscular structures in the body. Animal studies showing that the forces measured at the distal and proximal ends of a muscle are not equal have provided undisputable evidence that these connective tissue linkages are strong enough to serve as an extra pathway for muscular force transmission. In this historical review, we first introduce the terminology and anatomy related to these pathways of muscle force transmission and …

International audience; The idea put forward in this exploratory research is that connectives, far from appearing haphazardly as the subject changes ideas, appear just like other operators in the discursive styles (Bronckart, 1985) linked with the activation of programs that might be called cognitive discursive (Ghiglione, 1988).
