Electromyographic sensitivity of peroneus tertius relative to abductor hallucis in assessment of peripheral neuropathy.

29 Sep 2009 The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity of needle electromyography of the abductor hallucis and peroneus tertius muscles in the diagnosis of mild length-dependent peripheral neuropathy (PN). Nerve conduction studies and needle ... Read more...

Predicting the effect of muscle length on fatigue during electrical stimulation.

29 Sep 2009 Mathematical models have been developed to predict fatigue during functional electrical stimulation, but the predictive accuracy at different muscle lengths is unknown. The objectives of our study were to: (1) experimentally determine the ... Read more...

Elicitability of muscle cramps in different leg and foot muscles.

29 Sep 2009 To explore the efficacy of muscle motor point stimulation in eliciting muscle cramps, 11 subjects underwent eight sessions of electrical stimulation of the following muscles bilaterally: abductor hallucis flexor hallucis brevis, and both heads of ... Read more...
