[Purpose] To compared activation of the tibialis anterior and soleus muscles during the sit-to-stand movement in elderly people. [Subjects and Methods] Ten elderly women were enrolled. The activities of the dominant lower extremity muscles were measured using a wireless electromyography system. Subjects performed natural sit-to-stand tasks. [Results] In the pre-thigh off phase, the tibialis ant...

Intravital imaging by multiphoton microscopy is a powerful tool to gain invaluable insight into tissue biology and function. Here, we provide a step-by-step tissue preparation protocol for imaging the mouse tibialis anterior skeletal muscle. Additionally, we include steps for jugular vein catheterization that allow for well-controlled intravenous reagent delivery. Preparation of the tibialis an...

BACKGROUND Allografts offer potential advantages over autografts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), including the absence of donor site morbidity, shorter operative times, improved cosmesis, and easier rehabilitation. There is limited and conflicting outcome data for ACLR with tibialis anterior allograft. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of ACL...

The authors present a minimally invasive surgical technique to repair tibialis anterior tendon rupture which can be used in mild and moderate retraction. Operative is illustrated with its different steps. Advantages indications are specified according the data reported literature.

Surgical correction of drop-foot in leprosy appears to have been neglected until Brand (1955) pointed out that anterior transposition of the tibialis posterior tendon to the intermediate cuneiform bone gave encouraging results. Since then there have been a number of reports of the use of this operation with or without modifications. Gunn and Molesworth (1957) reported fifty-six cases of drop-fo...

BACKGROUND Symptomatic muscle hernias are not uncommon in the lower extremities and are a rare cause of chronic leg pain. They are most commonly seen in the tibialis anterior muscle, occurring through fascial defects, usually after trauma. There are about 200 cases of muscle hernias described in the literature. The diagnosis is challenging as most of the patients present with non-specific chron...
