Botulinum Neurotoxin A Injections Influence Stretching of the Gastrocnemius Muscle-Tendon Unit in an Animal Model
Botulinum Neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) injections have been used for the treatment of muscle contractures and spasticity. This study assessed the influence of (BoNT-A) injections on passive biomechanical properties of the muscle-tendon unit. Mousegastrocnemius muscle (GC) was injected with BoNT-A (n = 18) or normal saline (n = 18) and passive, non-destructive, in vivo load relaxation experimentation w...
متن کاملEffects of stretching the gastrocnemius muscle.
Many authors currently disagree on the amount of time necessary to provide an adequate stretch flexibility. Since gastrocnemius equinus has been recognized as a cause of athletic injury, the authors performed a study to test what may be an adequate amount of stretching a gastrocnemius to improve flexibility. This study could not be conducted blind, and it was hoped that the contralateral leg co...
متن کاملEffects of acute static, ballistic, and PNF stretching exercise on the muscle and tendon tissue properties
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of a single static, ballistic, or proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching exercise on the various muscle-tendon parameters of the lower leg and to detect possible differences in the effects between the methods. Volunteers (n = 122) were randomly divided into static, ballistic, and PNF stretching groups and a control g...
متن کاملThe investigating of relationship between changes of some of the cardiorespiratory factors during submaximal activity with slow component of Vo2 ,after static and dynamic stretching in active women
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between changes of some of the cardiorespiratory factors during submaximal activity with slow component of Vo2 after static and dynamic stretching in 16 active women from physical education college ( Mean ± SD : age, 23.87± 1.62 yr ; weight, 57.20 ± 7.84 kg ; height, 163.46 ± 6.23 cm; body fat % ,23.96 ± 2.70 and Vo2max, 42.15 ± 3.4...
متن کاملDoes long-term passive stretching alter muscle-tendon unit mechanics in children with spastic cerebral palsy?
BACKGROUND Cerebral palsy causes motor impairments during development and many children may experience excessive neural and mechanical muscle stiffness. The clinical assumption is that excessive stiffness is thought to be one of the main reasons for functional impairments in cerebral palsy. As such, passive stretching is widely used to reduce stiffness, with a view to improving function. Howeve...
