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 ...

Ultrasound does not shorten the duration of procedure but provides a faster sensory and motor block onset in comparison to nerve stimulator in infraclavicular brachial plexus block [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2013
BackgroundInfraclaviculr Brachial plexus (ICBP) block is useful for upper extremity surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the ultrasound (US) technique with the nerve stimulation (NS) technique in their success rates and times to perform ICBP ...

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

Complications of Cochlear Implant Surgery in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Systematic Review

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Hearing loss disproportionately affects low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Recent advances in cochlear implant surgery have benefitted patients globally, but the risk of complications in LMICs may be heightened due to social and structural factors.

Various types of intercommunications between musculocutaneous and median nerves: An analytical study

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2007
Intercommunications between musculocutaneous nerve and median nerve deserve important interest in view of their clinical significance. In the study of 50 upper limb specimens, the various communications between the musculocutaneous and median nerve in ...

Bilateral communication between musculocutaneous nerve and median nerve - a case report

National Journal of Clinical Anatomy, 2012
During routine dissection of an adult male cadaver, we observed bilateral communication between musculocutaneous nerve and median nerve. The level of origin of the communicating branch from musculocutaneous nerve was different in both arms.

Percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation as an ancillary treatment following nerve repair surgery

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neuropathic pain after peripheral nerve injury severely degrades quality of life. Peripheral nerve stimulation (PN‐Stim) is cleared by the U.S, Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. This broad indication supports its potential use at the time of peripheral nerve repair in patients reporting ...

Gastrocnemius muscle properties in children with cerebral palsy: An exploratory cross‐sectional study of variability in gastrocnemius properties

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle strength is a key predictor of physical functioning, yet the influence of patient and treatment factors on muscle properties in young people with cerebral palsy is not fully known. We explored whether medial gastrocnemius properties vary by age, ambulatory status and spasticity treatment (botulinum toxin or selective dorsal rhizotomy ...
