Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management

Fascia Definition and Classification Project

We are asking you to take part in a research study conducted by the Fascia subcommittee of the Clinical Anatomy Terminology (CAT) Committee of the American Association of Clinical Anatomy (AACA).

The goals of the survey are to assess perceptions of current definitions of fascia and to collect opinions on what anatomical structures are included in the set of fasciae.

The approximately 250 anatomical terms you will be asked to evaluate were selected from Terminologia Anatomica (TA2; FIPAT, 2019), Singer (Fascia of the Human Body, 1935), and Terminologia Histologica (TH; FICAT, 2008).

To achieve these goals, the survey is divided into two parts.

Part A is an assessment of published definitions of fascia as well as a series of general questions.

Part B is more detailed and relates to classification of candidate fasciae.

As the survey is anonymous, please do not include your name or other information that could be used to identify you in the survey responses. You may stop the survey at any time. If you need more time or multiple sittings to complete the survey, you may pause and continue completion of the survey at your convenience using the initially provided link.

On behalf of the CAT Fascia subcommittee members.

RESEARCH GOAL

The goal of this survey is to assess current definitions of fascia and to classify approximately 250 anatomical terms related to fascia in a consistent nomenclature from Terminologia Anatomica (TA2; FIPAT, 2019), Singer (Fascia of the Human Body, 1935), and Terminolgia Histologica (TH; FICAT, 2008).
