Recent advances in muscle biology have greatly expanded our knowledge of how muscle functions in health and disease and how muscle adapts to a variety of stimuli. The purpose of this review is to consider how this information can be applied to the practice of physical therapy. The opinions and ideas represent those of a clinician who is also involved in research on the functional performance of muscle and how performance relates to basic biological mechanisms. The review examines selected aspects of muscle physiology, muscle mutability, and problems that arise when basic research material must be generalized for clinical practice.
肌肉生物学的最新进展极大地拓展了我们对于肌肉在健康与疾病状态下如何发挥功能以及如何适应各种刺激的认识。本综述的目的是探讨如何将这些信息应用于物理治疗实践。文中的观点和想法代表了一位临床医生的看法，该医生也参与了关于肌肉功能表现以及这种表现与基本生物学机制之间关系的研究。本综述考察了肌肉生理学、肌肉可变性的特定方面，以及当必须将基础研究资料推广至临床实践时所出现的问题。
