TRANSVERSE AND MUSCLE-SPLITTING ABDOMINAL INCISIONS

Archives of Surgery, 1953
A RECENT survey of over 500 certified surgeons in this country revealed that only about 26% are employing transverse or muscle-splitting abdominal incisions for the common types of abdominal operations.1It appears therefore that the majority of surgeons and most of the other physicians performing surgery are using midline or paramedian incisions.

Abdominal muscle activity during speech production

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1988
Abdominal muscle activity was investigated during resting tidal breathing and speech production in upright and supine body positions in five male and five female young adult subjects. Results showed that patterns of abdominal electromyographic (EMG) activity were highly dependent on body position.

Fiber architecture of canine abdominal muscles

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2002
During respiration, abdominal muscles experience loads, not only in the muscle-fiber direction but also transverse to the fibers. We wondered whether the abdominal muscles exhibit a fiber architecture that is similar to the diaphragm muscle, and, therefore, we chose two adjacent muscles: the internal oblique (IO), with about the same muscle length as ...

The Abdominal Muscles and Vertebral Stability

Spine, 1987
It has been suggested that the muscles of the anterolateral abdominal wall increase the stability of the lumbar region of the vertebral column by tensing the thoracolumbar fascia and by raising intra-abdominal pressure. In this report these new mechanisms are reviewed and their contribution to vertebral stability assessed.

Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging of the Abdominal Muscles

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2007
Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) of the abdominal muscles is increasingly being used in the management of conditions involving musculoskeletal dysfunctions associated with the abdominal muscles, including certain types of low back and pelvic pain.

Abdominal Muscle Strength in Patients with Tetraplegia.

Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Journal, 2000
The abdominal muscles are completely paralyzed after traumatic transection of the cervical cord. To assess the residual pressure-generating capacity of these muscles, we first measured the changes in gastric pressure (DeltaPga) during paired bilateral stimulation of the lower thoracic nerve roots in eight chronic patients with C5-C7 tetraplegia and ...

Correlation between Abdominal Rectus Diastasis Width and Abdominal Muscle Strength

Digestive Surgery, 2015
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Surgery for Abdominal Rectus Diastasis (ARD) is a controversial topic and some argue that it is solely an aesthetic problem. Many symptoms in these patients are indefinite, and no objective criteria have been established, indicating which patients are likely to benefit from surgery.

Abdominal Muscle Activity and Intraabdominal Pressure after Upper Abdominal Surgery

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1989
To examine the influence of abdominal muscle activity on intraabdominal pressure, the integrated surface EMG from upper abdominal muscle (EAB) was related to changes in intragastric pressure (PGA) in six patients after upper abdominal surgery. A similar respiratory pattern of EMG activity was observed in all subjects. EAB increased rapidly at the onset

Abdominal muscle activity during abdominal hollowing in four starting positions

Manual Therapy, 2009
The aim of this study was to investigate the activity of the rectus abdominis (RA), external abdominal oblique (EO), and transversus abdominis/internal abdominal oblique (TrA/IO) muscles during abdominal hollowing (AH) in four positions: crook lying, prone lying, four-point kneeling, and wall support standing. Thirty-two healthy participants, aged 21.3+

Intercostal and abdominal muscle afferent influence on caudal medullary expiratory neurons that drive abdominal muscles

Experimental Brain Research, 1989
Our objective was to determine if caudal ventral respiratory group (VRG) expiratory (E) neurons that drive abdominal expiratory motoneurons in the lumbar cord respond to intercostal and lumbar nerve afferent stimulation. Results showed that 92% of medullary E-neurons that were antidromically activated from the upper lumbar cord reduced their activity ...
