ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the hydration‐induced volumetric expansion and elasticity of collagen‐based soft tissue substitutes following exposure to blood using three‐dimensional (3D) analysis and high‐frequency ultrasonography (HFUS). Materials and Methods Seven commercially available collagen matrices were analyzed: Fibro‐Gide (6

Effects of Maximal Concentric Contractions on Myotendinous Mechanical Properties in Prepubertal Boys
ABSTRACT This study aimed to compare the effects of a fatiguing concentric exercise on the myotendinous mechanical properties of the knee extensors between men and prepubertal boys. Ten prepubertal boys and 10 men performed a fatiguing exercise consisting of five sets of 20 maximal isokinetic concentric knee extensor contractions.

Sono‐Anatomy and Histology of the Deep Fasciae in the Upper Limb
The deep fascia of the upper limb represents a pivotal anatomical structure essential for effective force transmission, dynamic compartmentalization and musculoskeletal stability. Its composition (rich in type I collagen fibers) enables both mechanical resilience and functional adaptability, crucial for the upper limb's complex movements.
