Previous research indicates that both the extent and timing of muscular activation at the knee can be influenced by muscle activity state, joint angle, weight-bearing status and trunk position. However, little research to date has evaluated protective neuromuscular response times and activation patterns to an imposed perturbation with the knee joint in a functional, weight-bearing stance. Hence, we designed a lower extremity perturbation device to produce a sudden, forward and either internal or external rotation moment of the trunk and femur relative to the weight-bearing tibia. Surface electromyography (EMG) recorded long latency reflex times of the medial and lateral quadriceps, hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles in 64 intercollegiate lacrosse and soccer players in response to both internal and external rotation perturbation. We found the gastrocnemius fired significantly faster that the hamstring, which in turn fired significantly faster than the quadriceps. There was also a significant difference in activation times of the medial and lateral hamstring not found for the quadriceps or gastrocnemius muscles. Our findings confirmed that reactive neuromuscular responses following this functional perturbation differ markedly from those previously reported using seated, partial weight-bearing and/or uni-planar models under relaxed conditions.  相似文献

Objectives:

To investigate deterioration of musculoskeletal system due to prolonged disuse and the potential of daily short-duration weight-bearing as countermeasures.

Methods:

Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into Control Group (CG, no intervention), Tail-suspension Group (TG, tail-suspension without treatment), and Weight-Bearing Group (WBG, tail-suspension with 20 min/day, 5 days/week body weight loading). After four weeks of treatment, femur and tibia, soleus and extensor digitorum longus were evaluated for bone and muscle quality respectively. Tensile properties of bone-tendon insertion (BTI) were evaluated using patella-patellar tendon complex.

Results:

Disuse induced deterioration on bone, muscle, and BTI after four weeks. Compared with CG, TG and WBG showed significant decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) of trabecular bone in distal femur (4.3-15.2%), muscle mass (31.3-52.3%), muscle cross-sectional area (29.1-35%), and failure strength of BTI (23.9-29.4%). Tensile test showed that the failure mode was avulsion of bone at the BTI. No significant difference was detected between TG and WBG for all assessments on bone, muscle, and BTI.

Conclusions:

Disuse caused deterioration of bone, muscle, and BTI while daily short-duration of weight-bearing did not prevent this deterioration. Mechanical stimulation with higher intensity and longer duration may be necessary to prevent musculoskeletal deterioration resulted from prolonged disuse.  相似文献

The nutrient flap is a new concept of the role of the flap. It has three functions: (1) it provides supplementary blood flow to ischemic zones, (2) it assists venous drainage in regions of venous insufficiency, and (3) it induces the formation of a capillary network. Its skin covering role is only accessory. We have applied this principle to osteitis, pseudoarthrosis, and arteriosclerosis. The nutrient flap constitutes a new type of treatment for stage IV arteriosclerosis of the lower limbs when classical revascularization techniques cannot be performed and when high amputation is indicated. Four clinical cases and the surgical techniques used are described. The flap, usually raised from the latissimus dorsi, is anastomosed to the popliteal artery by means of an inverted saphenous vein graft. It is applied to the distal extremity of the limb after excision of the necrotic tissues. The nutrient flap preserves weight-bearing by maintaining the heel.  相似文献

Muscle forces during locomotion are often predicted using static optimisation and SQP. SQP has been criticised for over-estimating force magnitudes and under-estimating co-contraction. These problems may be related to SQP's difficulty in locating the global minimum to complex optimisation problems. Algorithms designed to locate the global minimum may be useful in addressing these problems. Muscle forces for 18 flexors and extensors of the lower extremity were predicted for 10 subjects during the stance phase of running. Static optimisation using SQP and two random search (RS) algorithms (a genetic algorithm and simulated annealing) estimated muscle forces by minimising the sum of cubed muscle stresses. The RS algorithms predicted smaller peak forces (42% smaller on average) and smaller muscle impulses (46% smaller on average) than SQP, and located solutions with smaller cost function scores. Results suggest that RS may be a more effective tool than SQP for minimising the sum of cubed muscle stresses in static optimisation.  相似文献

Rotator cuff stress during upper limb weight-bearing lifts presumably contribute to rotator cuff disease, which is the most common cause of shoulder pain in individuals with tetraplegia. Elbow extension strength appears to be a key determinant of rotator cuff stress during upper limb weight-bearing lifts since individuals with paraplegia who generate greater elbow extensor moments experience lower rotator cuff stress relative to individuals with tetraplegia. Biceps-to-triceps transfer surgery can increase elbow extension strength in individuals with tetraplegia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether active elbow extension via biceps transfer decreases rotator cuff stress during weight-bearing lifts in individuals with tetraplegia. A forward dynamics computational framework was used to estimate muscle stress during the lift; stress was computed as muscle force divided by the peak isometric muscle force. We hypothesized that rotator cuff stresses would be lower in simulated lifting with biceps transfer relative to simulated lifting without biceps transfer. We found that limited elbow extension strength in individuals with tetraplegia, regardless of whether elbow strength is enabled via biceps transfer or is residual after spinal cord injury, results in muscle stresses exceeding 85% of the peak isometric muscle stress in the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor. The rotator cuff stresses we estimated suggest that performance of weight-bearing activities should be minimized or assisted in order to reduce the risk for shoulder pain. Our results also indicate that biceps transfer is unlikely to decrease rotator cuff stress during weight-bearing lifts in individuals with tetraplegia.  相似文献

Abnormal and excessive plantar pressure is a major risk factor for the development of foot ulcers in patients with loss of protective pain sensation. Repeated pressure with each step can result in inflammation at specific points, followed by ulcer formation. Patients with peripheral nerve disease are unable to prevent the development of such lesions, which often lead to amputation. For this reason, it has been suggested that a fundamental therapeutic intervention should be the reduction of high plantar pressure. We have developed a portable, battery-operated ambulatory foot pressure device (AFPD) which has two important functions: (1) to determine the areas of high plantar pressure, and (2) to provide an acoustic alarm, adjusted to a specific pressure load, which is triggered when weight-bearing exceeds the predetermined plantar pressure. A memory of plantar pressure parameters allows for downloading of the data and sequential analysis during the investigation period. Such an alarm device could replace the lack of pain sensation and may play an important role in the prevention of ulcer development and lower extremity amputation.  相似文献

This study examined the impact of lower extremity joint stiffnesses and simulated joint contractures on the muscle effort required to maintain static standing postures after a spinal cord injury (SCI). Static inverse computer simulations were performed with a three-dimensional 15 degree of freedom musculoskeletal model placed in 1600 different standing postures. The required lower extremity muscle forces were calculated through an optimization routine that minimized the sum of the muscle stresses squared, which was used as an index of the muscle effort required for each standing posture. Joint stiffnesses were increased and decreased by 100 percent of their nominal values, and contractures were simulated to determine their effects on the muscle effort for each posture. Nominal muscle and passive properties for an individual with a SCI determined the baseline muscle effort for comparisons. Stiffness changes for the ankle plantar flexion/dorsiflexion, hip flexion/extension, and hip abduction/adduction directions had the largest effect on reducing muscle effort by more than 5 percent, while changes in ankle inversion/eversion and knee flexion/extension had the least effect. For erect standing, muscle effort was reduced by more than 5 percent when stiffness was decreased at the ankle plantar flexion/dorsiflexion joint or hip flexion/extension joint. With simulated joint contractures, the postural workspace area decreased and muscle effort was not reduced by more than 5 percent for any posture. Using this knowledge, methods can be developed through the use of orthoses, physical therapy, surgery or other means to appropriately augment or diminish these passive moments during standing with a neuroprosthesis.  相似文献

为了探讨植物提取物槲皮素对负重游泳小鼠的能量代谢和氧化应激的影响,本研究将45只SPF级雄性昆明小鼠随机分为正常对照组、游泳组和槲皮素组,每组15只。槲皮素组小鼠喂养2 g/kg的槲皮素饲料,其他组小鼠喂养标准饲料,共喂养14 d。然后将游泳组和槲皮素组小鼠按照体重的3%进行负重游泳1 h,测定各组小鼠的血糖、乳酸、尿素氮、游离脂肪酸、琥珀酸脱氢酶、三磷酸腺苷、丙二醛、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶和总抗氧化活性。结果显示,负重游泳后,槲皮素组血清乳酸和尿素氮水平显著低于游泳组,并且槲皮素组游离脂肪酸水平显著高于游泳组。负重游泳后,游泳组小鼠的肝脏和肌肉组织中的琥珀酸脱氢酶含量均显著降低,槲皮素组小鼠游泳后未见明显降低。负重游泳后,游泳组小鼠肌肉组织中的ATP酶活性显著降低,槲皮素组小鼠游泳后未见明显降低。负重游泳后,槲皮素组的丙二醛含量显著低于游泳组。游泳组和槲皮素组小鼠负重游泳后的谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶含量均显著降低,槲皮素组小鼠的谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶含量未见明显降低。游泳组小鼠血清总抗氧化活性显著低于对照组,而槲皮素组与对照组无显著差异。本研究初步表明,槲皮素可调节负重游泳小鼠的能量代谢来起到抗疲劳作用,主要机制与增加脂肪动员、抑制蛋白质分解和加强三羧酸循环有关。另外,槲皮素可通过抑制脂质过氧化、清除超氧阴离子自由基来防止运动过程中的氧化应激损伤。  相似文献

A true muscle perforator flap is distinguished by the requisite intramuscular dissection of its musculocutaneous perforator to capture the same musculocutaneous territory but with total exclusion of the muscle, and thereby results in minimal functional impairment. Adhering to this definition, several lower extremity donor sites now are available, each with specific attributes especially useful for consideration in the treatment of lower extremity defects. In this author's experience over the past two decades, 20 lower extremity muscle perforator flaps using multiple donor sites proved advantageous for lower extremity coverage problems as either a local pedicled flap or as a microsurgical tissue transfer. Significant complications occurred in 30 percent of flaps (six of 20) in that further intervention was required. Venous insufficiency and bulkiness were found to be the major inherent shortcomings. However, giant flaps, lengthy and large-caliber vascular pedicles, and the possibility for combined flaps were important assets. The choice of a lower extremity muscle perforator flap for lower extremity reconstruction limited the surgical intervention and morbidity to a single body region.  相似文献

Lower extremity microsurgical reconstruction   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand the indications for the use of free-tissue transfer in lower extremity reconstruction. 2. Understand modalities to enhance the healing and care of soft tissue and bone before free-tissue transfer. 3. Understand the lower extremity reconstructive ladder and the place of free-tissue transfer on the ladder. 4. Understand the specific principles of leg, foot, and ankle reconstruction. 5. Understand the factors that influence the decision to perform an immediate versus a delayed reconstruction. Free-tissue transfer using microsurgical techniques is now routine for the salvage of traumatized lower extremities. Indications for microvascular tissue transplantation for lower extremity reconstruction include high-energy injuries, most middle and distal-third tibial wounds, radiation wounds, osteomyelitis, nonunions, and tumor reconstruction. The authors discuss the techniques and indications for lower extremity reconstruction.  相似文献

Dizziness is a common problem in patients seeking medical help and is often associated with imbalance and handicap. This study aimed to reveal whether the perception of unsteadiness could be an indication of greater imbalance and handicap in these patients. Patients with dizziness were categorized into two groups, steady patients (n = 15) and unsteady patients (n = 23), based on the presence or absence of self-perceived unsteadiness. The level of self-perceived handicap was evaluated by the Dizziness Handicap Inventory. Static balance ability was evaluated using a force platform and the center of pressure motion was calculated during various quiet standing conditions. Dynamic balance ability was evaluated by the functional forward reach test and Dynamic Gait Index. All the patients also went through isometric strength tests of the lower extremities. It was found that all patients reported themselves to be handicapped by dizziness. Patients who perceived themselves to be unsteady had greater handicap and poorer static standing, but did not differ from the steady patients in regard to muscle strength or functional balance tests. Thus, self- perceived unsteadiness was associated with greater handicap and poorer static balance in dizzy patients. In clinical management of these patients, special attention should be paid to balance and handicap.  相似文献

Thirty-five consecutive patients treated with the radial forearm flap were reviewed. This flap was used in head and neck reconstruction in 25 patients, soft-tissue cover of an extremity in 9 patients, and as a new technique for penile reconstruction in 1 patient. Osteocutaneous flaps were used for mandibular reconstruction in 13 patients. In 6 patients innervated flaps were used to provide sensation on the dorsum of the hand or on the weight-bearing surface of the foot. There was only one total flap failure and no partial failures. Recipient-site complications were few, with prompt healing and very acceptable appearance. Donor-site complications included partial loss of the skin graft with tendon exposure in 10 patients (33 percent), an unsatisfactory appearance in 5 patients (17 percent), and one case of radial fracture (8 percent). On functional testing, there was no significant loss of strength or joint mobility in the donor extremity in 19/20 patients. The authors recommend measures to reduce donor-site morbidity and conclude that, with an acceptable donor site, this flap is valuable in a variety of reconstructive applications.  相似文献

Strength deficits in the quadriceps and hamstrings have been linked to several lower extremity injuries. The most common protocol used in testing for these deficits is isokinetic strength testing, which is both costly and time consuming. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to employ common vertical and horizontal power field tests to identify those protocols that best predict lower extremity strength deficits. Data describing 22 healthy collegiate graduate students' vertical and horizontal power were collected using standard field tests (i.e., 2 feet vertical jump, single leg vertical jump, 40-, 50-, and 60-yd runs). In addition, data describing each subject's lower extremity strength deficits were collected by using the Biodex 840-000 Multi Joint System Isokinetic Dynamometer (Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, NY, USA) set to report peak torque at 60° · s of flexion and extension and 180° · s of flexion and extension. Regression analyses indicated that 3 of the 4 strength deficit parameters could be predicted from a linear combination of field test results (p < 0.05). Of the strength deficits measured, hamstring deficits at flexion velocities of both 60° · s and quadriceps strength deficits at 60° · s were those that could be predicted using field test results. The results of this study, by increasing the diagnostic power of the clinician, may make it easier to develop strength training protocols designed specifically to target weak musculature in the lower extremity. This targeting of specific musculature, in an effort to return symmetrical strength to the lower extremity, may ultimately decrease the likelihood of lower extremity injury in college-aged men and women.  相似文献

An instrumented wheel system for three-dimensional kinetic analysis of upper extremity during wheelchair propulsion has been designed and validated. This system allows the direct measurements of three-dimensional dynamic forces and moments on the handrim during wheelchair propulsion in a laboratory setting as well as in the field. Static loading tests showed a high linearity and little drift (coefficient of determination, r2 > 0.999). Under dynamic loading, the instrumented wheel provided the well-matched measurement forces and moments with the predicted values from the inverse dynamic method using video-based kinematic data (correlation coefficient, p > 0.97). The three-dimensional handrim forces and moments during wheelchair propulsion by a non-disabled subject were demonstrated.  相似文献

Soft-tissue expansion in the lower extremities   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
Soft-tissue expansion enjoys ever-wider use, but to date an experience using this technique in the lower extremity has never been presented. We reviewed our first 16 patients to describe the indications and contraindications for the use of tissue expansion in the lower extremity. Guidelines evolved from study of the data. Soft-tissue expansion merits consideration for coverage of problem wounds, in preparation for removal of large benign lesions, and for the repair of contour defects. The operator should know that an open wound below the knee predicts a complication if soft-tissue expansion is attempted in that location. In the thigh, incisions can be confidently placed at the edge of the defect. In every location, large expanders should be chosen so that they are as long as or longer than the adjacent defect. The increase in circumference of the limb should be followed. Simple designs for advancement flaps usually work well. As our experience has grown, reconstruction using soft-tissue expansion in the lower extremity has become safer and the results more predictable through better patient selection and diligent monitoring of intraluminal pressures, even if only by ensuring that the patient is always comfortable. Soft-tissue expansion has a role in reconstruction of the lower extremity.  相似文献
