Mechanosensitivity and Adipose Thickness as Determinants of Pressure to Reach Deep Fasciae in Cervical and Thoracolumbar Regions
The mechanical pressure required to reach the deep cervical and thoracolumbar fasciae was similar with an average value of approximately 6 N/cm<sup>2</sup>, suggesting a consistent mechanical response across these anatomical regions. Mechanosensitivity and subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness did not influence the mechanical pressure needed to access the deep fascial tissue.
