Passive Mechanical Properties of Skeletal Muscle: Structural Basis and Implications for Surgery and Sport

About this course

This course will highlight the very clinically relevant but poorly understood passive mechanical properties of muscle. The structural basis for muscle properties will be defined and discussed in terms of muscle injury and disease such as rotator cuff tear, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.

What you will learn

• To be able to distinguish between extracellular and intracellular sources of muscle load bearding
• To be able to define the major components of muscle extracellular matrix, including cellular components
• To define the way in which changes in passive mechanical properties may lead to injury or slowed recovery after injury
