Clinical Consideration
The space between the distinct neurofascial coverings comprises a delicate,
areolar CT much like that seen in the sliding layers associated with muscle
and fascia. This layer is presumed to provide a similar sliding function and
present with similar consequences when impacted by injury and trauma.
Peripheral nerves – wrapped in their neurofascial envelopes – travel throughout
the body within fascial clefts or cleavage planes that function as ‘neutral motion
corridors’. These protective corridors help safeguard the nerve from compression
and over extension. As the nerve and its protective coverings are connected via
investing fibers, whatever impacts the various layers of the neurofascial corridor
has great potential to impact the enveloped nerve.
