Changes in the probability of firing of motor units following electrical stimulation in human limb muscles
1986
Changes in the probability of motor unit firing was studied in ten different muscles (six muscles in the upper extremity and four muscles in the lower extremity) of eleven healthy human subjects. The responses were elicited by the electrical stimulation of cutaneous or mixed nerves during weak voluntary contraction of the muscle studied, and were recorded by averaging the rectified surface electromyogram. In eight of the ten muscles, well-detectable, short and long latency excitatory phases were observed. The most constant and well-identified excitatory responses were observed in the first interosseus dorsalis muscle in the hand, and in the extensor digitorum brevis muscle in the foot. Thes…
Extensor digitorum brevis muscle flap for lower extremity coverage in a context of posttraumatic sepsis.
2019
Abstract Introduction Traumatic injuries to the distal quarter of the leg present a significant risk of skin necrosis and exposure of the underlying fracture site or the osteosynthesis material that often result in bone and joint infection. In the case of small or medium-sized bone exposure, local muscles may be one of the best options for lower extremity coverage. We describe our experience using the extensor digitorum brevis muscle flap in a context of posttraumatic bone and joint infection in fourteen patients. Our main objective was to assess the outcomes and the donor-site morbidity of the extensor digitorum brevis muscle flap. Materials and methods A single-center retrospective study …
Simultaneous bilateral occurrence of a M. extensor digiti medii and a M. extensor digitorum brevis.
1993
Summary For the first time, the simultaneous and bilateral occurrence of two variants of the extensors of the fingers, M. extensor digiti medii and M. extensor digitorum brevis, is reported. The extensor of the middle finger arises from the distal fourth of the radius and runs to the base of the proximal phalanx. The short extensor of the fingers arises from the metacarpal region and inserts into the dorsal aponeurosis. Both muscles are innervated by the R. profundus n. radialis.
