2016, Manual TherapyCitation Excerpt :The time delay between EMG and FORCE is well known and described as EMD including EC coupling and force transmission, therefore, under our experimental circumstances, an increase of EC coupling after TFM applied over tendon and excluding muscle itself may show a decrease in the active stiffness of the muscle itself. Since TFM was applied over the tendon, it is expected that the mechanical properties (visco-elasticity) of the tendon tissue are affected (Hunter, 1998) and consequently finding an increased elongation of the tendon, possibly leading to an increase of the time needed for the force transmission during voluntary muscle contractions. Therefore, given the expectation to find out an increased time belonging to the force transmission, and therefore affected viscoelasticity, we have found a significant decrease, which is contradictory to the known effect of TFM.

2011, Manual TherapyCitation Excerpt :Soft tissue techniques have been further developed to attempt greater influence on biomechanical properties, for example, the addition of a transverse directed force to the longitudinal force (Hunter, 1994). Hunter (1998) described placing the specific site of soft-tissue dysfunction under longitudinal tension by the use of a physiological joint movement as described in the stretching literature. He then advocated the application of direct transverse pressure on the same tissue plane and at 90° to the site of the soft-tissue dysfunction.
