Fascia is the basis of the muscles and ligaments located in the arm. It is a serous sheath of connective tissue that covers the muscles and protects them from damage. One of the most important elements of fascia is the deep dorsal fascia (DFT), which is located on the back of the arm and plays a key role in maintaining joint stability and function.
The muscles and ligaments that lie on the posterior extensor wrist joint pass through the DFT to connect with the other fascia on the anterior surface. This means that dysfunction of the fascia can lead to dysfunction of the joint, especially under heavy loads and forces. Many arm exercises, such as push-ups, work with circular rotation of the wrist, and the use of levers pushing the arms in a direction in front of the body, the meaning of the deep DFT movement should be understood.
DFT injuries are caused by overexertion of tendons and ligaments due to muscle strain or strenuous lifestyle activities such as sports. Injuries can occur during sports, work, or other physical activities and can often require prompt treatment. Severe injuries can result in rupture of fibers, damage to tendons or ligaments that are located inside or on the outer layer of the DFT; in this case, surgery or temporary rehabilitation will be required to reduce pain and strengthen weak areas. Rehabilitation should be tailored to individualized periods as the injury heals; surgery may be required in extreme cases.
The fascia of the palm also plays an important role in maintaining ligament strength and joint alignment. When posterior palmar DFT is disrupted, changes in the position of the wrist and fingers occur, causing painful symptoms. These injuries may result from overload or rupture of soft tissue and require immediate treatment before
