[Culav EM, Clark CH, Merrilees MJ. Connective tissues: matrix composition and its relevance to physical therapy. Phys Ther. 1999;79:308-319.]

The purposes of this update are to provide an overview of the composition, structure, and function of the connective tissue (CT) matrix and to illustrate how recent research has contributed to an improved understanding of the ways in which CT responds to mechanical forces. The overview is not exhaustive, but rather seeks to illustrate the complexity of ...
