[Contractile properties of crural muscles in patients with post-stroke movement disorders].

Disorders were detected in the contractile properties of tibial muscles in the patients with stroke-related motor disturbances depending on the degree of functional deficit. Maximum slow-down in the fast muscles and speeding of the slow ones was detected within half-year since the stroke.

[Contractile function of the anterior tibial muscle of man at different stages of the denervation-reinnervation process].

The contractile and electromyographic properties of the tibialis anterior muscle from the affected and normal side have been studied in 27 patients with lumbar radiculopathies. It was found, that at the early stages of denervation-reinnervation process (according B. M.

[Muscle contractility after partial denervation (clinico-experimental study)].

Investigation of the contractility of the anterior tibial muscle in patients with vertebrogenic radiculopathy and in rats with experimental radiculopathy has demonstrated a reduction in the rate and force of isometric contraction. The method may be employed in the diagnosis and in the assessment of the dynamics and efficacy of therapy for neuromuscular syndromes.
