Problems solved by technology

The alterations of these properties may result in an accumulation of low grade stress/strain of the connective tissue.
The alterations of these properties of connective tissue may change the overall desired properties of the connective tissue and may also undesirably affect the surrounding tissues, structures, organs, or systems related to the connective tissue.
Examples of such undesirable affects are increased tension, loss of flexibility, contracture, fibrosis, or sclerosis, any of which can prevent the connective tissue or structures that are related to the connective tissue from performing their desired function.
These al
