The effects of cryotherapy on quadriceps electromyographic activity and isometric strength in patient in the early phases following knee surgery.

Purpose: To determine the effects of cryotherapy on quadriceps electromyographic (EMG) activity and isometric strength in early postoperative knee surgery patients.

Methods: Twenty-two volunteers with recent knee surgeries were included. EMG readings of the vastus medialis (VM), rectus femoris (RF), and vastus lateralis (VL) from the surgical leg were collected during a maximal voluntary quadriceps setting (QS) activity.

Unilateral hypoglossal nerve injury in a collegiate wrestler: a case report.

Objective: To introduce the case of a collegiate wrestler who suffered a traumatic unilateral hypoglossal nerve injury. This case presents the opportunity to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of a 20-year-old man with an injury to his right hypoglossal nerve.

Background: Injuries to the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII) are rare.

The effect of the median nerve compression test on median nerve conduction across the carpal tunnel.

Introduction: We conducted an experimental, single-blind research study to determine the efficacy of using the median nerve compression test (MNCT) to improve the sensitivity and specificity of median nerve motor and sensory latencies for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We expected post-MNCT latencies to be prolonged in the CTS group.

Methods: A convenience sample of 18 subjects aged 18-65 was enrolled in this study.
