The proper connective tissue, which defines the fascial system, plays a central role in supporting the biomechanics of the body. Fasciae can be classified between superficial and deep according to their anatomical structures and bodily functions.

Abstract
The proper connective tissue, which defines the fascial system, plays a central role in supporting the biomechanics of the body. Fasciae can be classified between superficial and deep according to their anatomical structures and bodily functions. However, despite the importance of fascial alterations in different clinical conditions, the literature is still lacking in evidence comparing superficial and deep fasciae in terms of biomechanical properties. The present work, therefore, aims to offer an in-depth study on this topic. The experimental results showed a site-dependent anisotropy and a viscoelastic behavior of the fascial tissues. Mechanical comparison between fasciae is the key to tailor and target the most appropriate clinical intervention.Pubblicazioni consigliate
