Muscle moment arms at the human knee and ankle were estimated from muscle length changes measured as a function of joint flexion angle in cadaver specimens. Nearly all lower-leg muscles were studied: extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, gastrocnemius lateralis, gastrocnemius medialis, peroneus brevis, peroneus longus, peroneus tertius, plantaris, soleus, tibialis anterior, and tibialis posterior. Noise in measured muscle length was filtered by means of quintic splines. Moment arms of the mm. gastrocnemii appear to be much more dependent on joint flexion angles than was generally assumed by other investigators. Some consequences for earlier analyses are mentioned. 相似文献

The considerable variability of the Mm. extensor hallucis longus et brevis and the medial portion of the M. extensor digitorum brevis reflects the higher strain acting on the medial part of the forefoot. These functional conditions result probably not only in the increased development of the muscles mentioned above but also in the formation of a Retinaculum musculorum extensorum imum, which does, in fact, occur in 64.2% of extremities examined. 2 major forms of this retinaculum can be differentiated: A Retinaculum musculorum extensorum imum fibrosum (52.3%) and musculofibrosum (11.9%). The fibrous form again occurs in 2 varieties, namely a complete (47%) and an incomplete (5.3%) one. 相似文献

In 47 dissected right and left hands of adults of both sexes, kept in a moist condition, significant practical-clinical investigations of the transitional zone between forearm and hand were undertaken. In particular it was sought to determine the characteristic sizes of the extensor retinaculum, the osteofibrous tunnels, the insertion tendons of the hand and finger extensor muscles, and their tendon sheaths. Together with the palmar carpal ligament, the 2 to 3 cm wide extensor retinaculum annularly surrounds the whole circumference of the carpus. It extends obliquely from radial-proximal to ulnar-distal and conducts the extensor tendons over the carpal articulations. According to recent studies, it is divided into a superficial and a deep fibrous layer. From the undermost surface, vertical and oblique septa run to the plane of the forearm and carpal bones. They separate the fibrous portion of the 6 tendinous compartments of the dorsum manus. In 8.5% of cases, an accessory and completely independent tunnel of the extensor pollicis brevis muscle exists in the material investigated, and in 2.2% of cases, there is an additional tunnel for the extensor carpi radialis muscle. Hence, one occasionally finds 8 separate osteofibrous gliding compartments for the extensor muscles in the dorsal hand region. The longest tunnel belongs, as a rule, to the extensor digiti minimi muscle, whilst the widest pertains to the extensor digitorum muscle. Within the tunnel and also proximal and distal to it, the extensor tendons are surrounded by synovial sheaths. Because of its wide encroachment on the dorsum of the hand, the insertion tendon of the extensor digiti minimi muscle possesses the longest tendon sheath, measuring 68.8 mm. The next longest sheath, that of the extensor pollicis longus muscle, which measures 56.2 mm, begins further proximal to the gap of the radiocarpal articulation. In 12.8% of cases, there are divided sheaths of the abductor pollicis longus and of the extensor pollicis brevis muscle. The tendon sheath of both extensor carpi radiales muscles is frequently divided into 2 compartments which, in 2/3 of cases, communicate. The compartment of the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle, in 91.5% of cases, shares a window-like opening with the roof of the synovial vagina of the extensor pollicis longus muscle. The tendon sheath of the long extensor muscles of the fingers originates 5 mm proximal to the forearm border of the extensor retinaculum and has a communal recess. The IVth tendon sheath opens distally and splays out in a glove-like manner to some distal recesses.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

To elucidate compositional changes of the tendon of the peroneus longus muscle with aging, the authors investigated age-related changes of elements in the insertion of tendons of the peroneus longus muscle (peroneus longus tendons) in Thai, Japanese, and monkeys and the relationships among element contents by direct chemical analysis. After ordinary dissections at Chiang Mai University and Nara Medical University were finished, the peroneus longus tendons were resected from the subjects. The peroneus longus tendons were also resected from rhesus and Japanese monkeys bred in Primate Research Institute, Kyoto University. The wraparound regions of the insertion tendons of the peroneus longus muscle in contact with the cuboid bone were used as the peroneus longus tendon. After ashing with nitric acid and perchloric acid, element contents were determined with an inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer. It was found that there were no significant correlations between age and the seven elements, such as Ca, P, S, Mg, Zn, Fe, and Na, in the peroneus longus tendons of Thai and Japanese. The Ca content higher than 10 mg/g was contained in seven cases out of 34 peroneus longus tendons of Thai (incidence?=?20.6%) and in one case out of 22 peroneus longus tendons of Japanese (incidence?=?4.5%), respectively. All of the peroneus longus tendons with the Ca content higher than 10 mg/g were found in Thai and Japanese men. In the peroneus longus tendons of monkeys, the Ca and P content increased suddenly at 2 years of age and reached to about 40 mg/g at 5 years of age. Thereafter, the Ca and P content did not increase in the peroneus longus tendons of monkeys at old age. Regarding the relationships among element contents, significant direct correlations were found among the contents of Ca, P, Mg, Zn, and Na in Thai and monkeys, whereas significant inverse correlations were found between S and element contents, such as Ca, P, Mg, Zn, and Na, in Thai and monkeys. 相似文献

We sought to describe the comparative anatomy of the Achilles tendon in rabbits and humans by using macroscopic observation, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography. The calcaneus-Achilles tendon-gastrocnemius-soleus complexes from 18 New Zealand white rabbits underwent ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and gross anatomic sectioning; these results were compared with those from a cadaveric gastrocnemius-soleus-Achilles tendon-calcaneus specimen from a 68-y-old human male. The medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscle tendons merged 5.2 +/- 0.6 mm proximal to the calcaneal insertion macroscopically, at 93% of their course, different from the gastrocnemius human tendons, which merged at 23% of their overall course. The rabbit flexor digitorum superficialis tendon, corresponding to the flexor digitorum longus tendon in human and comparable in size with the gastrocnemius tendons, was located medial and anterior to the medial gastrocnemius tendon proximally and rotated dorsally and laterally to run posterior to the Achilles tendon-calcaneus insertion. In humans, the flexor digitorum longus tendon tracks posteriorly to the medial malleolus. The soleus muscle and tendon are negligible in the rabbit; these particular comparative anatomic features in the rabbit were confirmed on the MR images. Therefore the rabbit Achilles tendon shows distinctive gross anatomical and MR imaging features that must be considered when using the rabbit as a research model, especially for mechanical testing, or when generalizing results from rabbits to humans. 相似文献

Equal proximal and distal lengthening of rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) were studied. Tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and EDL were active maximally. The connective tissues around these muscle bellies were left intact. Proximal EDL forces differed from distal forces, indicating myofascial force transmission to structures other than the tendons. Higher EDL distal force was exerted (ratio approximately 118%) after distal than after equal proximal lengthening. For proximal force, the reverse occurred (ratio approximately 157%). Passive EDL force exerted at the lengthened end was 7-10 times the force exerted at the nonlengthened end. While kept at constant length, synergists (tibialis anterior + extensor hallucis longus: active muscle force difference approximately -10%) significantly decreased in force by distal EDL lengthening, but not by proximal EDL lengthening. We conclude that force exerted at the tendon at the lengthened end of a muscle is higher because of the extra load imposed by myofascial force transmission on parts of the muscle belly. This is mediated by changes of the relative position of most parts of the lengthened muscle with respect to neighboring muscles and to compartment connective tissues. As a consequence, muscle relative position is a major codeterminant of muscle force for muscle with connectivity of its belly close to in vivo conditions. 相似文献

Effects on force of changes of the position of extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) relative to surrounding tissues were investigated in rat. Connective tissue at the muscle bellies of tibialis anterior (TA), extensor hallucis longus (EHL) and EDL was left intact, to allow myofascial force transmission. The position of EDL muscle was altered, without changing EDL muscle-tendon complex length, and force exerted at proximal and distal tendons of EDL as well as summed force exerted at the distal tendons of TA and EHL muscles (TA+EHL) were measured. Proximal and distal EDL forces as well as distal TA+EHL force changed significantly on repositioning EDL muscle. These muscle position-force characteristics were assessed at two EDL lengths and two TA+EHL lengths. It was shown that changes of muscle force with length changes of a muscle is the result of the length changes per se, as well as of changes of relative position of parts of the muscle. It is concluded that in addition to length, muscle position relative to its surroundings co-determines isometric muscle force. 相似文献

The length-force relations of nine different skeletal muscles in the hindlimb of the cat were determined experimentally, with electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve as the activation mode. It was shown that the active-, passive-, and total-force patterns varied widely among the muscles. The tibialis posterior (TP), medial and lateral gastrocnemius (MG, LG) and flexor digitorum longus (FDL) had a symmetric active-force curve, whereas the tibialis anterior (TA), peroneus brevis (PB), peroneus longus (PL), extensor digitorum longus (EDL), and soleus (SOL) had an asymmetric curve which exhibits about 25% of the maximal isometric force at extreme lengths. The SOL, EDL, and LG had a low-level passive force which appeared at short muscle length, whereas all other muscles exhibited initial passive force just before the optimal length. The total force was rising quasi-linearly for the SOL, whereas the other muscles exhibited an intermediate plateau about the optimal length. The LG and FDL had a substantial but temporary intermediate dip in the total force as the muscle was elongated past the optimal length. The elongation range of the various muscles also varied, ranging from +/- 15 to +/- 30% of the optimal length. The elongation range was symmetric for the FDL, LG, MG, TP, SOL, and EDL, and asymmetric for the PL, PB, and TA, being -12 to + 17%, -12 to + 17%, and -35 to + 12%, respectively. Two different models which incorporate muscle architecture were successfully fitted to the experimental data of the muscles except for the MG and TA. The architecture of these two muscles is highly nonhomogeneous and contains compartments with two pennation patterns or two different optimal lengths. New models, which add spatially and temporally the individual characteristics of each compartment of the muscles, were constructed for these two muscles. The new models demonstrated high correlation to the experimental data obtained from the MG and TA. It was concluded that the length-force relation varies widely among various skeletal muscles and is probably dependent on the primary function of the muscle in the context of integrated movement; this is a manifestation of architectural factors such as fiber pennation pattern and angle, cross-sectional area, ratio of muscle to tendon length, distribution of the fiber length within the muscle and compartmental pennation. 相似文献

Force transmission from muscle fibers via the connective tissue network (i.e., myofascial force transmission) is an important determinant of muscle function. This study investigates the role of myofascial pathways for force transmission from multitendoned extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle within an intact anterior crural compartment. Effects of length changes exclusively of head III of rat EDL muscle (EDL III) on myofascial force transmission were assessed. EDL III was lengthened at the distal tendon. For different lengths of EDL III, isometric forces were measured at the distal tendon of EDL III, as well as at the proximal tendon of whole EDL and at the distal tendons of tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus (TA+EHL) muscles. Lengthening of EDL III caused high changes in force exerted at the distal tendon of EDL III (from 0 to 1.03 +/- 0.07 N). In contrast, only minor changes were found in force exerted at the proximal EDL tendon (from 2.37 +/- 0.09 to 2.53 +/- 0.10 N). Increasing the length of EDL III decreased TA+EHL force significantly (by 7%, i.e., from 5.62 +/- 0.27 to 5.22 +/- 0.32 N). These results show that force is transmitted between EDL III and adjacent tissues via myofascial pathways. Optimal force exerted at the distal tendon of EDL III (1.03 +/- 0.07 N) was more than twice the force expected on the basis of the physiological cross-sectional area of EDL III muscle fibers (0.42 N). Therefore, a substantial fraction of this force must originate from sources other than EDL III. It is concluded that myofascial pathways play an important role in force transmission from multitendoned muscles. 相似文献

Defects of the skin and soft tissue in the region of the lateral malleolus of the ankle and the Achilles tendon, resulting in exposed bone, tendons, or osteosynthetic material, cannot be covered with free skin transplants. Local or free flaps must be employed. The authors present the construction of a peroneus brevis muscle flap with a distal pedicle as a useful alternative. Between 1993 and 1999, distal pedicled peroneus brevis muscle flaps were used in 19 patients with various types of defects. During construction of the flap, both the long peroneal muscle and the peroneal artery remained intact. In the region of the distal third of the fibula, consistently arranged branches run from the artery into the muscle, and these form the distal pedicle. The proximal portion of the muscle can be transposed distally and easily extends to the tip of the fibula and the attachment of the Achilles tendon to the calcaneus. Primary healing occurred in 16 patients undergoing flap construction. Donor-site morbidity was mostly limited to the donor-site scar. The distally pedicled peroneus brevis muscle flap is a reliable means for covering defects in the lower leg. This form of muscle flap has not yet been described in the known literature. In the authors' opinion, this flap constitutes a logical and valuable extension of local flap procedures for plastic surgery in the distal leg region. 相似文献

In 12 patients, the extensor carpi radialis longus muscle tendon unit was elongated using the radial half of the parent tendon so that it could reach the site of new insertion, the A1-A2 pulley of flexor sheath or lateral bands, after routing the transfer through the carpal tunnel. The tendon was of appropriate thickness and could be split into two halves to be used as a graft. Further splitting of the tendon into four tails was possible. The transferred slips retained adequate strength to activate the fingers after the operation. It is suggested that splitting of the extensor carpi radialis longus tendon to use one half as a tendon graft be considered in patients in whom extensor carpi radialis longus transfer is planned to correct finger clawing. This technique is simple, needs minor modification in the sequence of operative steps, reduces operating time, and saves the patient from postoperative discomfort, muscle herniation, and scarring at the donor site (usually the thigh). 相似文献

The use of the extensor digitorum brevis muscle as a local muscle island flap for the coverage of the soft-tissue defects in the region of the lateral malleolus is presented. The anatomy of the muscle, the donor dissection, and the utilization of the extensor digitorum brevis muscle as a local muscle flap in the lower extremity are discussed. This flap was used successfully in a patient with a wound over the lateral malleolus and ankle. 相似文献

The first branch of the lateral plantar nerve and heel pain 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The course and ramification pattern of the lateral plantar nerve was studied in serial sections from 4 fetal feet and in dissections from 34 adult feet with special reference to the so called first branch. This branch was found in all of the observed fetal and adult specimen. From its originating point the nerve runs immediately distally to the medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity in a lateral direction to the proximal part of the abductor digiti minimi muscle. During its course the FB gives two branches. One of them penetrates sometimes the insertion of the quadratus plantae muscle, whereas in adult feet it always sends fibres to the periosteum around the medial process of the calcaneal tuberosity and the long plantar ligament. The other innervates the flexor digitorum brevis muscle. The site of a possible entrapment is located between the abductor hallucis muscle and the medial head of the quadratus plantae muscle. There is strong indirect evidence that the nerve is of a mixed type consisting of sensory fibres for the calcaneal periosteum and the medial head of the quadratus plantae muscle. There is strong indirect evidence that the nerve is of a mixed type consisting of sensory fibres for the calcaneal periosteum and the long plantar ligament as well as motor fibres for the quadratus plantae, flexor digitorum brevis and abductor digiti minimi muscles, which may explain the characteristic pain complaints of the heel pain syndrome. The occurrence of a stiff fascia perforated by the nerve branch or a bursa around the insertion of the plantar aponeurosis as has been described by several authors and which was put forward as a possible aetiological factor could not be confirmed in our material. 相似文献

Tibiotarsi ofDsungaripterus?brancai (Reck) (Upper Jurassic, East Africa),D. weii Young (Lower Cretaceous, China) andPuntanipterus globosus Bonaparte & Sanchez (Lower Cretaceous, South America) have a bird-like distal end with attachment areas for a transverse ligament anteriorly, lateral and medial ligamentous prominences, and an anteroposteriorly, expanded pulley-like articular surface. The M. extensor digitorum longus flexed the ankle and probably also extended the digits as in living birds and mammals. A separate tendinous slip for digit I probably passed from the M. flexor digitorum longus in a groove posteroventral to the medial ligamentous prominence. 相似文献

Biomechanical properties of tendons during lower-leg lengthening in dogs using the Ilizarov method. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ten dogs were provided with a circular fixator. Segment resection of the fibula and tibial osteotomy in the right lower leg was performed. 5 days after surgery, a lengthening of the right lower leg by 2.5 cm was performed on 6 dogs using a distraction rate of 0.5 mm, twice per day. 3 dogs with leg lengthening and 2 dogs of the control group without leg lengthening were sacrificed at the end of the distraction phase of 25 days and the remaining dogs after another 25 days. Postmortally the tendons of the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, peroneus longus and the achilles tendon were taken from the operated right side and the left non-operated control side and were examined biomechanically in cyclic tests. The control group without lengthening showed no changes in the biomechanical properties in the tendons of either side nor in those of the unlengthened left side of the operated dogs. In contrast the biomechanical tests revealed a marked decrease of the elastic modulus, an increase of distraction length and an increase of modulus reduction on the lengthened side compared to the non-operated left side. 相似文献

Force transmission in rat anterior crural compartment, containing tibialis anterior (TA), extensor hallucis longus (EHL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles, was investigated. These muscles together with the muscles of the peroneal compartment were excited maximally. Force was measured at both proximal and distal tendons of EDL muscle as well as at the tied distal tendons of TA and EHL muscles (the TA + EHL complex). Effects of TA + EHL complex length and force on proximally and distally measured forces of EDL muscle kept at constant muscle-tendon complex length were assessed. Length changes of EDL muscle were imposed by movement of the proximal force transducer to different positions.Proximal EDL force was unequal to distal EDL force (active as well as passive) over a wide range of EDL muscle-tendon complex lengths. This is an indication that force is also transmitted out of EDL muscle via pathways other than the tendons (i.e. inter- and/or extramuscular myofascial force transmission). At constant low EDL length, distal lengthening of the TA + EHL complex increased proximal EDL force and decreased distal EDL force. At optimum EDL length, TA+EHL active force was linearly related to the difference between proximal and distal EDL active force. These results indicate intermuscular myofascial force transmission between EDL muscle and the TA + EHL complex. The most likely pathway for this transmission is via connections of the intact intermuscular connective tissue network. The length effects of the TA + EHL complex can be understood on the basis of changes in the configuration, and consequently the stiffness, of these connections. Damage to connective tissue of the compartment decreased the proximo-distal EDL force difference, which indicates the importance of an intact connective tissue network for force transmission from muscle fibers to bone. 相似文献

Summary 1. The formation of endplates outside the original endplate region of a muscle fibre was studied in slow and fast rat muscles. It was found that such new endplates are readily formed on the soleus muscle, whereas hardly at all in the fast extensor digitorum longus. Most new endplates appear to be morphologically normal within 2 months after nerve implantation.2. The time course of recovery of slow and fast cat muscles was followed after crushing the sciatic nerve. It was found that the slow soleus muscle recovers more rapidly than the fast flexor hallucis longus muscle.3. The endplates of reinnervated cat muscles are more complicated than those of the control muscles, but have nevertheless fewer nerve terminals per endplate. Reinnervated muscles are more sensitive to curare and it is suggested that this is due to a decrease in transmitter release, for it was found that less acetylcholine is released from reinnervated rat hemidiaphragms than from control ones.4. Motor and sensory reinnervation of spindles and tendon organs was studied. At the time when motor reinnervation is almost completed the sensory endings from spindles and tendon organs are highly abnormal. Thus sensory reinnervation proceeds much more slowly than motor. 相似文献
