The branch of anatomy that studies aponeuroses, the flat sheet-like tendons that attach muscles to bones or other structures.
From aponeurosis + -logy (study of). This medical term combines Greek apo- 'away from' + neuron 'sinew' with the study suffix to create a specialized anatomical field.
Aponeurology focuses on nature's biological 'fabric'—those flat, sheet-like tendons that spread muscle force across wide areas of your body, letting your muscles lift and move without being thick cords everywhere.
