The clinical history and cine studies appear to be the most useful assessments in defining patients with dysphagia who may improve after a myotomy. Etiological factors which may precipitate poor coordination of the swallowing mechanism and a relative cricopharyngeus muscle ...

Mitochondrial respiration and characteristics of skeletal muscles in children with cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Skeletal muscles utilize numerous mitochondria for energy production needed during muscle contraction. Mitochondria produce this energy through the electron transport chain. After an injury such as ACL‐injury in typically developing children, there is a reduction in muscle mitochondrial respiration and content.
