This study examined the running patterns of deep fascia around muscles in a human cadaver. After the skin and superficial fascia were removed, the holistic fascia arrangement was investigated with the naked eye. In order to make an observation, the interconnection of fasciae on both sides and muscles were lifted. To make an estimation of running direction and tension of the subject fasciae of each body part, epimysium along with muscle fibers of the subject muscles were held and lifted with tweezers. The running direction and tension correlation of the deep fascial fibers were observed parallel to the muscle fibers of the subject muscles. In the back, four rhomboid shape fascial profiles were observed around the vertebral column. The rhomboid profiles are composed of a fascia of trapezius, a fascia of latissimus dorsi, a fascia of Michaelis rhombod, and an innominated rhomboid, which were located between a fascia of trapezius and a fascia of latissimus dorsi. Upon observation of the connection of fascial fibers, they appeared with a thin and loose formation between muscles, appeared with a thin and dense formation between a muscle and soft tissue around the bone, and appeared with a thick and loose formation between muscle groups.
