Abstract Objective To analyze the muscle trophism and expression of interleukin-6 in the biceps brachii muscle of rats with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury treated with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). Methods Adult rats underwent C5-C7 spinal cord hemisection and a 5-week NMES proto...
INTRODUCTION: Skeletal muscle atrophy leads to a reduction in muscle strength, functionality, and the quality of life of individuals. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of two different wavelengths (red and infrared) of laser PBMT on muscle atrophy and its active ingredients on skeletal muscle atrophy usi...
Introducción: La neuropatía motora multifocal con bloqueos de la conducción (NMMBC) es
una enfermedad crónica inmunomediada, con un compromiso exclusivo de los nervios motores.
Es importante diferenciarla de otras enfermedades que cursan con afectación motora, debido a
que ésta es una enfermedad tr...
Abstract A 26-year-old previously healthy patient who, at the age of 18 years, began progressive loss of distal strength, rest tremor, and muscle atrophy in the left upper limb. Upon examination, the patient presented moderate distal atrophy, degree 4 in muscular strength, and minipolymioclonus. Electrom...
SUMMARY: To describe the physical therapy protocols used in critically ill patients to attenuate skeletal muscle atrophy. We conducted a search in PubMed and Embase from inception to November 2020. Observational or experimental studies published in English or Spanish that evaluated the effect of physical...
ABSTRACT Introduction: The paravertebral musculature is essential for the biomechanics and stability of the spine, and its involvement in the pathophysiology of spinal diseases has been demonstrated. Qualitative evaluation of muscle degeneration is usually performed by analyzing the fat infiltration rat...
