Electrical Modalities in the Rehabilitation of Peripheral Nerve Injuries: State of the Literature and Current Clinical Applications

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are a common cause of long‐term motor and sensory disability despite advances in microsurgical repair. Functional recovery following PNI depends not only on axonal regeneration, but also on preservation of distal nerve pathways, maintenance of neuromuscular junction integrity, prevention of irreversible muscle ...

Influence of preactivation on fascicle behavior during eccentric contraction [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Because muscle fascicle behavior affects to the force-generating capability, understanding of muscle fascicle length changes during dynamic movements is important. Preactivation may affect the muscle fascicle length changes, especially in the

Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Portulaca abscondita (Portulacaceae, Caryophyllales), a new microendemic species from Monte Azul, Minas Gerais, Brazil

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Portulaca (Portulacaceae) is a cosmopolitan genus with centers of diversity in Africa and South America. In Brazil, 22 species are recognized, most occurring in xerophytic environments of the Cerrado, particularly in Campos Rupestres. These rocky montane habitats, especially in northern Minas Gerais state, remain undercollected despite their high ...
