Electromyography was used to determine the presence of electrical activity in the nonexercised latissimus dorsi, infraspinatus, and pectoralis major muscles while the contralateral limb underwent the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation pattern of flexion, abduction, external rotation with elbow straight and extension, adduction, internal rotation with elbow straight. Activity was present ...

Objective: To investigate the occurrence and irradiation/overflow amount on the muscular activity of healthy individuals submitted to proprioceptive neuromuscular technique Design: Experimental study with convenience sample Setting: Physiotherapy university rehabilitation centre. Subjects: Sixteen volunteers dexterous, healthy (8 men and 8 women), with 18 to 24 years (21± 1.61) were evaluated. ...

A lambda gtII expression library was prepared from rat brain and screened with a polyclonal antiserum, which recognizes both NF-H and NF-M. An NF-M cDNA clone (pNF-M3C = 1.6 kb) was isolated and characterized. The fusion protein of NF-M3C, when used as an affinity matrix for the anti-neurofilament serum, isolated a subpopulation of antibodies specific for NF-M. Northern analysis demonstrates a ...
