Physical rehabilitation improves muscle function following volumetric muscle loss injury
BACKGROUND Given the clinical practice of prescribing physical rehabilitation for the treatment of VML injuries, the present study examined the functional and histomorphological adaptations in the volumetric muscle loss (VML) injured muscle to physical rehabilitation. METHODS Tibialis anterior muscle VML injury was created in Lewis rats (n = 32), and were randomly assigned to either sedentary...
متن کاملVolumetric muscle loss.
Prevention of infection, as well as bone covering and healing, is paramount in the management of limb injury with associated muscle injury. Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is the traumatic or surgical loss of skeletal muscle with resultant functional impairment. No standardized evaluation protocol exists for the characterization and quantification of VML. Clinical photographs and video recordings,...
متن کاملVolumetric muscle loss leads to permanent disability following extremity trauma.
Extremity injuries comprise the majority of battlefield injuries and contribute the most to long-term disability of servicemembers. The purpose of this study was to better define the contribution of muscle deficits and volumetric muscle loss (VML) to the designation of long-term disability in order to better understand their effect on outcomes for limb-salvage patients. Medically retired servic...
متن کاملThe promotion of a functional fibrosis in skeletal muscle with volumetric muscle loss injury following the transplantation of muscle-ECM.
Tissue engineering strategies that primarily use biological extracellular matrices (ECMs) with or without the inclusion of a stem or progenitor cell source are under development for the treatment of trauma resulting in the loss of a large volume of skeletal muscle (i.e., volumetric muscle loss; VML). The explicit goal is to restore functional capacity to the injured tissue by promoting generati...
متن کاملGreen tea extract attenuates muscle loss and improves muscle function during disuse, but fails to improve muscle recovery following unloading in aged rats.
In this study we tested the hypothesis that green tea extract (GTE) would improve muscle recovery after reloading following disuse. Aged (32 mo) Fischer 344 Brown Norway rats were randomly assigned to receive either 14 days of hindlimb suspension (HLS) or 14 days of HLS followed by normal ambulatory function for 14 days (recovery). Additional animals served as cage controls. The rats were given...
