Accessory Plantaris Muscle: Anatomy and Prevalence [PDF]

HSS Journal, 2011
Accessory and anomalous muscles have been described in humans, but only a few at the level of the knee. The aim of this retrospective cohort analysis was to determine the prevalence of a new accessory muscle located at the level of the knee detected with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Anatomy and variations of plantaris muscle in fetuses

Journal of the Anatomical Society of India, 2015
Abstract Introduction We have aimed at researching into the morphometric development and variations of the plantaris muscle and its tendon throughout the fetal period and comparing them with the results of the study performed on adults. Method A total of 102 fetal legs (51 human fetuses: 26 male, 25 female) whose ages varied between 15 and 40 ...

Rupture of Plantaris Muscle - A Mimic: MRI Findings

Journal of Clinical Imaging Science, 2012
Calf muscle trauma commonly involves the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Plantaris muscle is a vestigial muscle coursing through the calf. Similar clinical features may be seen with injury to the plantaris muscle. It can also mimic other conditions like deep vein thrombosis, rupture of Baker's cyst, and tumors.

Never undescribed before, four-headed plantaris muscle

Folia Morphologica
The plantaris is a small muscle of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg. It originates at the lateral supracondylar line of the femur and the knee joint capsule, from where it continues distally, forming a long and slender tendon distally ...

Lactate supplementation modulates molecular and functional responses during chronic neuromuscular electrical stimulation in male rats [PDF]

Physiological Reports
Lactate is increasingly recognized as a signaling molecule that modulates muscle plasticity. We examined the effects of oral L‐sodium lactate supplementation on skeletal muscle adaptation to chronic neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in rats ...

What is the prevalence of plantar tendon used as tendon graft in the Somali population?

Medicine Science, 2023
The plantar muscle is fusiform, attaching to the calcaneus, starting behind the knee. Plantaris muscle formation has been reported in humans at a rate approaching 90%. It is frequently preferred for tendon grafting and tendon transfer in hand surgery and

Heme Metabolism-Derived Carbon Monoxide Regulates Skeletal Muscle Function. [PDF]

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle
ABSTRACT Background Heme oxygenases, HO‐1 (Hmox1) and HO‐2 (Hmox2), regulate skeletal muscle homeostasis by degrading heme and generating carbon monoxide (CO), a bioactive signalling molecule. Although HO‐1 is known to influence muscle fibre composition and mitochondrial function, the role of HO‐2 in activity‐dependent neuromuscular plasticity remains ...

A Morphometric and Morphological Analysis of Plantaris in Fetal Cadavers

Genel Tıp Dergisi, 2022
Objective: The plantaris is a muscle in the back of the leg that has a short body and a long, thin tendon. The muscle acts functionally with the gastrocnemius.

Additional Tendinous Origin and Entrapment of the Plantaris Muscle [PDF]

Clinics, 2009
The human plantaris muscle (PM) is a small, spindle-shaped muscle that originates from the femur just above the lateral condyle and the adjacent posterior ligament of the articular capsule, in close association with the lateral head of the gastrocnemius.

Effect of post-exercise lactate administration on glycogen repletion and signaling activation in different types of mouse skeletal muscle

Current Research in Physiology, 2020
Lactate is not merely a metabolic intermediate that serves as an oxidizable and glyconeogenic substrate, but it is also a potential signaling molecule. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether lactate administration enhances post-exercise
