Diagnostic ultrasound assessment of deep fascia sliding mobility in vivo: A scoping review – Part 2: femoral and crural fasciae.

Failure of fascial sliding may occur in cases of excessive or inappropriate use, trauma, or surgery, resulting in local inflammation, pain, sensitization, and potential dysfunction. Therefore, the mechanical properties of fascial tissues, including their mobility, have been evaluated in vivo by ultrasound (US) imaging. However, this seems to be a method that is not yet properly standardized nor validated.
