The mechanical effect of a muscle following agonist-to-antagonist tendon transfers does not always meet the surgeon's expectations. We tested the hypothesis that after flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) to extensor carpi radialis (ECR) tendon transfer in the rat, the direction (flexion or extension) of the muscle's joint moment is dependent on joint angle. Five weeks after recovery from surgery (tendon...

Abstract Date Presented 04/02/2022 This poster presents a case study of 56 year-old woman with weak wrist extension 2.5 years after subcortical ischemic stroke who participated in an extensor carpi radialis (ECR) motor evoked potential (MEP) operant conditioning training study. The participant increased maximum voluntary contraction the ECR and improved Box Block Test Fugl-Meyer upper extremity...

Our research aimed to quantify stress load in drivers by monitoring the on radial extensor carpi radialis (musculus radialis) different types of forest and other categories roads. We observed changes electrical potential skeletal muscles using electromyographic measurements heart rate a Biofeedback2000 x-pert recorder. measured loading during normal operation timber trucks with trailers, while ...

Objective: This study investigated the neuromuscular control of increasing and releasing force in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis (CLE). Methods: Fifteen CLE (10 males, 5 females, 46.5 ± 6.3 years) fifteen healthy participants (9 6 45.3 2.5 participated this study. In addition to power grip maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) wrist extension, fluctuation dynamics characteristics int...

Scapholunate dissociation (SLD) is the commonest cause of carpal instability and wrist osteoarthrosis. The value of early diagnosis and treatment of this injury is well established in the literature. When a partial or total rupture of the scapholunate ligament is treated with early anatomic reduction and repair, functional results may be good to excellent. However, if this ligament is not addre...

Demodex folliculorum, commonly known as the follicle mite is a parasite of man in all parts of the globe. It was discovered independently by He:Qle (1841) and Berger (1845). Simon (1842) described it as Acarus folliculorum. Owen (1843) reevaluated the genus as Demodex. According to Akbulatova (1963) there are two subspecies namely Demodex folliculorum longus and Demodex folliculorum brevis, syn...

Avulsion fractures at the base of second and third metacarpals are very rare, there is no evidence in literature for post-surgical therapy management. The purpose this study was to identify a treatment protocol management an extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) avulsion fracture. patient had fabricated volar wrist splint with 30 degrees extension 60 70 MCP flexion. At 4 weeks, progressed ROM o...

Tendon transfers to the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) are often performed to augment wrist extension. This study was conducted to analyze how transfer of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) to the ECRB affects the moment arms, force-generating capacity, and moment-generating capacity of the ECU over a range of wrist flexion-extension. A graphics-based computer model was developed from anat...
