Spasticity and muscle contracture following stroke [PDF]

Brain, 1996
It has become increasingly recognized that the major functional deficits following brain damage are largely due to "negative' features such as weakness and loss of dexterity rather than spasticity. A variety of studies suggest that spasticity is a distinct problem and separate from the loss of dexterity, but that it may be implicated in the formation ...

Profile of malignant hyperthermia susceptibility reports confirmed with muscular contracture test in Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2019
Background and objectives: Malignant hyperthermia is an autosomal dominant hypermetabolic pharmacogenetic syndrome, with a mortality rate of 10%–20%, which is triggered by the use of halogenated inhaled anesthetics or muscle relaxant succinylcholine. The

Rat Model of Quadriceps Contracture by Joint Immobilization

Biology, 2022
Muscle contracture is an abnormal pathologic process resulting in fibrosis and muscle atrophy, which can lead to limitation of joint motion. To establish a diagnostic method to detect muscle contracture and a method to control its progression, we ...

Brachial plexus birth injury and cerebral palsy lead to a common contracture phenotype characterized by reduced functional muscle length and strength

Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2022
IntroductionBrachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) and cerebral palsy (CP) both cause disabling contractures for which no curative treatments exist, largely because contracture pathophysiology is incompletely understood.

Usefulness of Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography for Detection of Quadriceps Contracture in Immobilized Rats

Animals, 2023
Quadriceps contracture is an abnormal pathological shortening of the muscle–tendon unit. To improve the prognosis of quadriceps contracture, improvement of its diagnostic method is needed.
