What causes abnormal formation of fibrous tissue in muscles?

Abnormal formation of fibrous tissue in muscles, known as fibrosis, can result from various factors, including chronic inflammation, injury, or repetitive strain that triggers an excessive healing response. Conditions such as muscular dystrophy or autoimmune diseases can also lead to fibrosis by disrupting normal muscle repair processes. Additionally, prolonged immobilization or disuse of muscles can contribute to the accumulation of fibrous tissue. These factors collectively result in the replacement of healthy muscle tissue with fibrous connective tissue, impairing muscle function.
