Motor Unit Number Estimation in Normal and Parkinsonism Model of Medial Gastrocnemius Muscle in Rats
Motor units (MUs) reflect the function of the central nervous motor system. Thus, the estimated MU number is a good option to investigate the functional movement disorder in the Parkinson’s disease (PD). The purpose of this study was to compare the estimated MUs number in the medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle of the normal rats and those with the Parkinsonism. The MG muscle of two age-matche...
متن کاملMuscle architecture and force-velocity characteristics of cat soleus and medial gastrocnemius: implications for motor control.
1. Isometric and isotonic contractile parameters of the soleus (SOL) and medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscles of seven adult cats were studied. In addition, architectural characteristics of six contralateral pairs of these ankle extensors were determined. 2. The in situ peak isometric tetanic tension developed by the MG at the Achilles tendon is nearly 5 times (9,846 vs 2,125 g) that of the SOL mu...
متن کاملArchitecture of the medial gastrocnemius in children with spastic diplegia.
Ultrasound images were obtained of the medial gastrocnemius at different ankle joint positions with the knee extended. Fascicle length and deep fascicle angle were measured in five normally developing adults (mean age 33 years, age range 24 to 36 years) and in five normally developing children (mean age 7.8 years, age range 7 to 11 years), and in seven children with spastic diplegia (mean age 1...

متن کاملElectromyographic Activity of the Medial Gastrocnemius and Lateral Gastrocnemius Muscle during Salat-s and Specific Exercise
This paper investigates the activity of the gastrocnemius (Gas) muscle in healthy subjects during salat (ruku’ position) and specific exercise [Unilateral Plantar Flexion Exercise (UPFE)] using electromyography (EMG). Both lateral and medial Gas muscles were assessed. A group of undergraduates aged between 19 to 25 years voluntarily participated in this study. The myoelectric activity of the mu...
