Mechanoreceptors in healthy muscles, ligaments and tendons procure the sensation of the joint movement, joint position and stability. Loss of mechanoreceptors not only causes mechanical instability, but also leads to a disturbance in the neuromuscular control due to the loss of mechanoreceptors. The purpose of this review is to explore the anatomy of mechanoreceptors in soft musculoskeletal tissues and to analyze their function both in normal and pathological conditions.

Abstract

Mechanoreceptors in healthy muscles, ligaments and tendons procure the sensation of the joint movement, joint position and stability. Loss of mechanoreceptors not only causes mechanical instability, but also leads to a disturbance in the neuromuscular control due to the loss of mechanoreceptors. The purpose of this review is to explore the anatomy of mechanoreceptors in soft musculoskeletal tissues and to analyze their function both in normal and pathological conditions.
