A new ankle foot orthosis for running.

30 Aug 2009 Traumatic knee injuries in automobile accidents and sports often lead to damage of the peroneal nerve. A lack of control of muscles innervated by the peroneal nerve due to this damage, results in the inability to dorsiflex and evert the foot and to ... Read more...

Peripheral neuropathy in rats exposed to dichloroacetate.

30 Aug 2009 The use of dichloroacetate (DCA) for treating patients with mitochondrial diseases is limited by the induction of peripheral neuropathy. The mechanisms of DCA-induced neuropathy are not known. Oral DCA treatment (50-500 mg/kg per day for up to 16 ... Read more...

Atypical deep peroneal neuropathy in the setting of an accessory deep peroneal nerve.

30 Jul 2009 We report a case of deep peroneal neuropathy resulting in foot drop with preserved toe extension. These unexpected findings were the result of the presence of an accessory deep peroneal nerve that provided total innervation of the extensor digitorum ... Read more...
