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 ...

Hernia Due to Banding of the Abdominal Muscles

Archives of Surgery, 1968
SUPERIMPOSED parallel slits between bands of the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles occasionally open to allow formation of a hernia at the level of the semicircular line of Douglas, which enters a shallow subaponeurotic space lateral to the rectus sheath and deep to the aponeurosis of the external oblique.

Fibre types in human abdominal muscles

Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1979
Histochemical muscle fibre composition was studied in biopsies from the four different muscles of the abdominal wall (rectus abdominis, RA, obliquus externus, OE, obliquus internus, OI, and transversus abdominis, Tr) in 13 normal human subjects (9 females and 4 males, age 24–55 years) undergoing gall‐bladder surgery.

Phasic stretch reflex of the abdominal muscles

Experimental Neurology, 1986
This analysis of the abdominal stretch reflex (ASR) evoked by a tap to the abdomen was designed to explore how abdominal motoneurons process signals from respiratory and nonrespiratory sources. We recorded surface EMGs from the external and internal oblique muscles in standing subjects. Amplitudes of the abdominal stretch reflex varied despite constant

Stretch reflexes in human abdominal muscles

Experimental Brain Research, 2004
Homonymous and heteronymous reflex connections of the abdominal muscles were investigated by the application of a tap to the muscle belly and observation of surface electromyographic responses. Reflex responses of the following abdominal muscles were investigated both ipsilateral and contralateral to the tap: rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO)

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.

Mechanics of the abdominal muscles in rabbits and dogs

Respiration Physiology, 1994
In anesthetized, apneic rabbits and dogs, direct tetanic stimulations of the abdominal muscles (AMS) were performed at different tracheal pressures (Ptr) in the supine and upright posture. Lung volume (V), esophageal (Pes) and abdominal pressure (Pab), circumference of the upper and lower lung apposed rib cage (Crc, u and Crc, l) and of the abdomen ...

Muscle relaxation during abdominal surgery

The American Journal of Surgery, 1980
A self-retaining surgical retractor has been modified by incorporating a strain gauge device linked to a digital display meter. This instrument is capable of continuously monitoring abdominal wall relaxation during surgery and should prove useful in a variety of routine and investigative procedures.

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 ...

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 ...
