The factors inducing normally innervated Schwann cells in peripheral nerve to divide are poorly understood. Transection of the fourth and fifth lumbar ventral roots (L4/5 ventral rhizotomy) of the rat is highly selective, sparing unmyelinated axons and myelinated sensory axons; Wallerian degeneration is restricted to myelinated efferent fibers. We found that L4/5 ventral rhizotomy prompted many...

background chronic sacroiliac (si) joint pain constitutes 16% to 30% of the total prevalence of chronic low back pain, which is commonly unilateral. apart from conservative management, various interventional pain management procedures have been reported. intraarticular deposteroid injection has been described as the most evidence-based, but different various radio frequency (rf) procedures have...

BACKGROUND The nerve to the abductor digiti minimi muscle (ADMM nerve) is the first branch of the lateral plantar nerve or originates directly from the posterior tibial nerve. Damage to the ADMM nerve is a cause of heel pain and eventually results in ADMM atrophy. It is known that ADMM atrophy occurs more often in females than in males, and the reason remains unclear. This study aimed to explor...

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

Objectives- To determine normal circulatory pattern of distal limbs of goat to be used for comparison with diseased digits or hooves of small ruminant lameness examination.Design- Experimental study.Animals- Forelimbs and hindlimbs of 10 healthy goats of both sexes, were collected fresh immediately after slaughter.Procedures- The plantar and Palmar artery were dissected and catheterized by eigh...

This study aims to investigate and compare the influence of plantar loading variables during gait of patients with diabetic in young ages. Subjects were divided into the following two groups: diabetic foot, 56 subjects; control group, 52 subjects. Plantar pressure distribution was measured during barefoot gait using the Novel emed platform. Both midfoot and lateral forefoot regions’ peak pressu...

Materials and methods Thirty children (37 feet) were evaluated preand 2.0 ±0.6 yrs (range: 0.8 to 2.9) post-op following ATT transfer. Foot progression angle (FPA) and sagittal ankle kinematics were assessed using a VICON system. Plantar pressures were collected using the Emed ST Platform. Representative trials were chosen for each subject for gait and plantar pressures. Plantar pressures were ...
