Abstract
The fascia forms a hierarchy of spaces (small and large compartments) that contain and enclose muscle
fibers, fiber bundles, skeletal muscles, and compartments of several skeletal muscles. Solid fascia serves as a
membrane that enables an increased volume and fluid pressure within such a fasciomembrane, an
intrafasciomembrial fluid pressure (IFMFP).
