Medial gastrocnemius is more activated than lateral gastrocnemius in sural nerve induced reflexes during human gait.

چکیده
In humans the sural nerve was stimulated at one of 16 phases of the step cycle. In MG (medial gastrocnemius) the amplitude of the P2 responses (latency 80-93 ms) was on average 1.3 times larger than the corresponding background activity while this was 0.9 for LG (lateral gastrocnemius; predominantly suppressive responses). It is speculated that such differences contribute to an exorotation moment during gait.

Cadaveric Anatomical Study of Sural Nerve: Where is The Safe Area for Endoscopic Gastrocnemius Recession?
Purpose To ascertain in cadavers where the sural nerve crosses the gastro-soleus complex and where the gastrocnemius tendon merges with the Achilles tendon in relation to the calcaneal tuberosities. Methods Twelve cadaveric lower limbs (6 right and 6 left) were dissected. The distances between the calcaneal tuberosities and the lateral border of the Achilles tendon where the sural nerve cross...
متن کاملPresence of third head of gastrocnemius and entrapment of the sural nerve
Introduction Gastrocnemius is the most superficial muscle of the posterior crural region. It arises by two tendinous heads from the femur. The lateral head originates from the lateral surface of the lateral condyle and the medial head originates from a rough area on the popliteal surface above the medial condyle. The lateral head frequently contains a small sesamoid bone, the fabella. The media...
متن کاملSelective bilateral activation of leg muscles after cutaneous nerve stimulation during 1 backward walking 2 3
26 During human locomotion, cutaneous reflexes have been suggested to function to 27 preserve balance. Specifically, cutaneous reflexes in the contralateral leg’s muscles (with 28 respect to the stimulus) were suggested to play an important role in maintaining stability 29 during locomotor tasks where stability is threatened. We used backward walking (BW) as a 30 paradigm to induce unstable gai...
متن کاملGastrocnemius recession: A cadaveric study of surgical safety and effectiveness
Background and purpose - Many methods of gastrocnemius lengthening have been described, with different surgical challenges, outcomes, and risks to the sural nerve. Our aims were (1) to locate the gastrocnemius muscular-tendinous junction in relation to the mid-length of the fibula (from here on designated the mid-fibula), (2) to compare the dorsiflexion achieved with dorsal recession or ventral...

Introduction Sural nerve (SN) is a sensory nerve which supplies the skin of the posterolateral aspect of the distal one third of the leg, lateral malleolus, along the lateral side of the foot and little toe. The lateral sural cutaneous nerve (LSCN) arises from the common peroneal nerve (also called common fibular nerve or CFN), supplies the skin over the upper part of the lateral and posterolat...
