,Load on Body Tissues
• Load is essential to develop and maintain healthy body tissues such as
muscle, bone, joint, ligament, fascia etc.
• However, sometimes load may lead to plastic deformation or injury. For
example; decrased tissue strength, increased load becaused of obesity or
overwork…
• Load on tissues might be controlled with different strategies to prevent
injuries or for healing.
, Controlling the Load
Some strategies are used to control the load on
tissues in exercise and rehabilitation sciences;
• Friction force,
• Joint reaction force,
• Ground reaction force.
