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 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 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 کاملLoquat leaf extract enhances myogenic differentiation, improves muscle function and attenuates muscle loss in aged rats.
A main characteristic of aging is the debilitating, progressive and generalized impairment of biological functions, resulting in an increased vulnerability to disease and death. Skeletal muscle comprises approximately 40% of the human body; thus, it is the most abundant tissue. At the age of 30 onwards, 0.5‑1% of human muscle mass is lost each year, with a marked acceleration in the rate of dec...
