Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) therapy has revolutionized the management of many forms of anal incontinence, with an expanded use and a medium-term efficacy of 75% overall. This review discusses the technique of SNM therapy, along with its complications and troubleshooting and a discussion of the early data pertaining to peripheral posterior tibial nerve stimulation in incontinent patients. Futur...

22 Even though interlimb coordination is critical in bipedal locomotion, the role of muscle 23 afferent mediated feedback is unknown. The aim of this study was to establish if ipsilateral 24 muscle generated afferent feedback can influence contralateral muscle activation patterns in 25 the human lower limb and to elucidate the mechanisms involved. 26 The effect of ipsilateral tibial nerve stimu...

  It has been shown that acute inflammation reduces the effectiveness of sympathetic nerves in the regulation of knee joint blood flow. To investigate the role of vascular β- adrenoceptors in this event, 12 NZW rabbits were maintained anaesthetized by 1 % halothane in N2O/O2, and acute knee joint inflammation was induced by intra-articular injection of 1 ml of 2% carageenan solution 24 hours be...

Moosa, A., and Dubowitz, V. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 852. Slow nerve conduction velocity in cretins. The ulnar and posterior tibial conduction velocities were measured in 6 untreated and 3 treated cretins. In 4 of the untreated patients, the conduction velocity of both nerves was slower than normal; in 1 patient the ulnar and in the other the posterior tibial nerve conducti...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Techniques of peripheral nerve block have gained popularity over the last two decades becoming a growing anesthetic option for limb surgeries. This study proposes a technical approach of the tibial and common fibular nerves in the popliteal fossa with single puncture using percutaneous nerve stimulator, considering the correlation with an anatomical and ultrasound stud...

A 59-year-old man with knee arthritis suddenly developed left posterior thigh pain and complete paralysis of his foot. EMG/nerve conduction studies localized the lesion to the distal sciatic nerve in the thigh (absent motor units from the short head of biceps femoris but normal vastus lateralis). Imaging demonstrated an intraneural ganglion cyst in the tibial nerve extending up to the sciatic n...
