📌"Fascia continuum" (light grey ensheathment) anatomic model linking the muscle–tendon-bone unit. Muscle stiffness is regulated by its activation and can be higher compared to tendon stiffness. The fascia continuum serves as supporting force by e.g. its viscoelastic properties as well as by its 3-D fibrous collagenous network representation. Mechanosignals as transmission and communication principle (structural redistribution and adaptation of fascia) are likely induced by passive and active forces transmitted by the myofascial and musculoskeletal system.
