A new model for the immobilization of the rat hind limb.
An alternative device for the immobilization of the hind limb of the rat was developed to study the effects of chronic disuse on the soleus and tibialis anterior muscles, maintained for 3 weeks in the shortening and the stretching positions, respectively. The proposed device is made of steel mesh and cotton materials, and has some advantages when compared to cast or plaster cast: it is cheaper,...
متن کاملCompression therapy promotes proliferative repair during rat Achilles tendon immobilization.
Achilles tendon ruptures are treated with an initial period of immobilization, which obstructs the healing process partly by a reduction of blood circulation. Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) has been proposed to enhance tendon repair by stimulation of blood flow. We hypothesized that daily IPC treatment can counteract the deficits caused by 2 weeks of immobilization post tendon rupture...
متن کاملIntermittent Pneumatic Compression Can Enhance Rat Achilles Tendon Repair After Immobilization
Introduction: Achilles tendon ruptures, whether operated or not, are mostly treated with long periods of immobilization. However, accumulating data show that prolonged immobilization is associated with impaired tissue repair including reduced biomechanical properties of the healing tendon. Prolonged immobilization leads to reduced blood flow and hampers the neuro-vascular ingrowth post-rupture ...
متن کاملA case report of partial bilateral hind limb adactyly in a male lamb
Hemimelia as a congenital anomaly is a failure of development of extremities formation in embryonic period. This anomaly is defined as complete absence of the part of extremities and different forms were explained for hemimelia. Adactyly is an alternative name for transverse hemimelia and is a rare disorder in the most of animal species. A two months old male lamb with normal vital signs was re...
متن کاملMechanical effects of immobilization on the Achilles' tendon.
OBJECTIVE To measure the biomechanical effects of immobilization on the Achilles' tendon. DESIGN Experimental, controlled study. SETTING Physiatry research laboratory. ANIMALS Twenty adult rabbits. INTERVENTION One hindlimb immobilized in a cast for 4 weeks (n=10) or 8 weeks (n=10). The contralateral legs (n=20) served as controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Cross-sectional Achilles' tendo...
