Myopathy of the quadriceps muscles

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1968
Abstract A description is given of 2 brothers, aged 34 and 38 years respectively, who were both suffering from a very slowly progressive paresis and atrophy of the quadriceps muscles, with EMG changes indicative of a myopathy. Although the other muscles showed no signs of paresis, electromyographic examination did disclose myopathic changes elsewhere.

The quadriceps gastrocnemius muscle

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2013
The gastrocnemius muscle forms the belly of calf muscles in the posterior compartment of the leg. This paper reports a four-headed gastrocnemius (named quadriceps gastrocnemius) muscle as a new variant and when present can alter the anatomy and/or the boundaries of the popliteal fossa.

Progressive Fibrosis of the Quadriceps Muscles

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1965
Limitation of flexion of the knees in a young girl was found to be caused by progressive fibrosis of the quadriceps muscles. The child had had many intra-muscular injections into the thighs in early infancy.

Mechanics of human quadriceps muscle

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1994
Mechanics of human quadriceps muscle strips (vastus lateralis; n = 10) were investigated over the whole load continuum. Mechanical experiments were performed at 29 degrees C and in both twitch and tetanus modes. For a given level of isotonic total load (P) and over a large part of the contraction phase, instantaneous velocity (V) was shown to be a ...

Infarction of the Quadriceps Muscle

Southern Medical Journal, 1986
Accelerated atherosclerosis is a common and recognized complication of diabetes mellitus. We have reported the fifth case of spontaneous infarction of a portion of the quadriceps muscle group in a patient with diabetes mellitus.

Knee effusion and quadriceps muscle strength

Clinical Biomechanics, 1992
Ten healthy subjects with no musculoskeletal problems were tested using a computerized exercise dynamometer. Quadriceps femoris concentric performance was examined during maximal effort isokinetic knee extension at joint angular velocities of 2.09 and 4.18 rad s(-1).

Postcontraction changes of muscle architecture in human quadriceps muscle

Muscle & Nerve, 2004
AbstractMaximal voluntary contraction changes the mechanical properties of skeletal muscle. Using ultrasound, we investigated whether these changes are reflected by changes in muscle architecture in the vastus lateralis muscle of 8 healthy volunteers. The mean pennation angle during the time interval from 3 to 6 min after maximal voluntary contraction (

A Critical Review of Electrical Stimulation of the Quadriceps Muscles

Critical Reviews in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 1997
Electrical stimulation (ES) has played an important role in the rehabilitation of muscle for many years. Recently, regimes and stimulators have become more sophisticated in an attempt to minimize loss of, or improve, muscle strength, atrophy, and function.

CONTRACTURE OF THE QUADRICEPS MUSCLE

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1964
1. Contracture of parts of the quadriceps muscle is not uncommon and is often accompanied by tightness of the ilio-tibial tract. It is suggested that this may follow intramuscular injections. 2. Recurrent dislocation of the patella can be a consequence of this muscle contracture. 3.
