This study primarily aimed to investigate the combined effects of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) sequences on regenerative processes in atrophied animal muscles. Thirty male New Zealand rabbits, aged 12 weeks, were divided into five groups: normal saline (Group 1), PDRN 2), ESWT 3), injection before 4), after 5). After 2 weeks cast immobilization, re...

Background and Study Aim. The tear of the anterior cruciate ligament knee joint is experienced by people all ages for a variety reasons. physiotherapy procedures with different equipment help recover lost functions. aim this research was to determine effect ‘TRX’ (Total body Resistance eXercise) suspension trainer platform ‘BOSU’ (Both Sides Utilized) after reconstruction.

Background: Muscle diffusion tensor imaging (mDTI) is a promising surrogate biomarker in the evaluation of muscular injuries and neuromuscular diseases. Since mDTI metrics are known to vary between different muscles, separation muscles essential achieve muscle-specific parameters. The commonly used technique assess DTI parameter maps based on manual segmentation (MSB). Other techniques comprise...

KEY POINTS The passive stiffness of the calf muscles contributes to standing balance, although the properties of muscle tissue are highly labile. We investigated the effect of sway history upon intrinsic ankle stiffness and demonstrated reductions in stiffness of up to 43% during conditions of increased baseline sway. This sway dependence was most apparent when using low amplitude stiffness-mea...

Patients with dysferlinopathy (11 limb girdle muscular dystrophy [LGMD]-2B and 16 Miyoshi myopathy) were asked to stand with knees slightly bent so that the quadriceps muscles were in moderate action. The anterolateral aspect of thighs was observed for any abnormal bulge. Nineteen patients (7 LGMD-2B and 12 Miyoshi myopathy) showed asymmetric diamond shaped bulges with wasting of muscles above ...

LORKOVI~, H. Membrane potential and mechanical tension in white and red muscles of the rat. Am. J. Physiol. 221(4) : 1044-1050. 197 1. -Threshold membrane potential for mechanical activity, determined by the current pulse technique, is between -30 and -36 mv for white and red muscles. Potentiation of K contractures by substituting CH$Oafor Clis accounted for by differences in the degree of depo...

The diffusive properties of adjacent muscles at rest were evaluated in male (n = 12) and female (n = 12) subjects using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). The principle, second and third eigenvalues, trace of the diffusion tensor [Tr(D)], and two anisotropic parameters, ellipsoid eccentricity (e) and fractional anisotropy (FA), of various muscles in the human calf were calculated from the diffusio...
