Estimations of topographically correct regeneration to nerve branches and skin after peripheral nerve injury and repair. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Peripheral nerve injury is typically associated with long-term disturbances in sensory localization, despite nerve repair and regeneration. Here, we investigate the extent of correct reinnervation by back-labeling neuronal soma with fluorescent tracers ...

Passive shoulder mobility and active shoulder external rotation recovery in upper‐trunk brachial plexus birth injuries after nerve repair

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This was a retrospective cohort study of 322 patients with upper trunk brachial plexus birth injury following nerve surgery of C5 and/or C6. We found that a substantial gap remained between passive and active shoulder external rotation in adduction, indicating that passive mobility is not the limiting factor in active external rotation recovery ...

Acetylcholine receptors in regenerating muscle accumulate at original synaptic sites in the absence of the nerve. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
We examined the role of nerve terminals in organizing acetylcholine receptors on regenerating skeletal-muscle fibers. When muscle fibers are damaged, they degenerate and are phagocytized, but their basal lamina sheaths survive.

Electroacupuncture and category IV LASER for treating suprascapular neuropathy in a two‐year‐old Arabian filly

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 2‐year‐old Arabian filly presented with acute onset grade 4/5 (AAEP) right forelimb lameness and hindlimb ataxia following a collision with another horse and subsequent fall. The right forelimb lameness was associated with marked scapulohumeral joint instability.

Locomotor muscle dysfunction and rehabilitative exercise training in fibrotic interstitial lung disease: Where are we at and where could we go?

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise limitation is a cardinal feature of fibrotic interstitial lung disease arising from pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanical and cardio‐circulatory abnormalities. More recently, it has been recognized that impairment in locomotor muscle function (e.g., reduced muscle mass/strength or heightened fatigability) might also play a ...

Within-socket Myoelectric Prediction of Continuous Ankle Kinematics for Control of a Powered Transtibial Prosthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Objective. Powered robotic prostheses create a need for natural-feeling user interfaces and robust control schemes. Here, we examined the ability of a nonlinear autoregressive model to continuously map the kinematics of a transtibial prosthesis and ...

Turning over new ideas in human skeletal muscle proteostasis: What do we know and where to from here?

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the turnover of proteins in tissues gives information as to how external stimuli result in phenotypic change. Nowhere is such phenotypic change more conspicuous than skeletal muscle, which can be effectively remodelled by increased loading, ageing and unloading (disuse), all of which are subject to modification by nutrition and ...

Redox‐regulated signalling of adaptations to contractile activity in skeletal muscle: Implications for age‐related muscle weakness

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal muscle adaptation to contractile activity is modulated by redox signalling, primarily through reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Early research framed ROS as deleterious byproducts of exercise, but subsequent studies have established their roles as signalling molecules involved in mitochondrial biogenesis,

Treating age‐related loss of muscle mass and function: Where should we be focusing?

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Perturbations contributing to the age‐related loss of muscle mass and strength. A, in the spinal cord, self‐reinforcing cycles of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation mediated by cells, including microglia, contribute to motor neuron degeneration.
