[Regeneration of electrical activity in anterior abdominal wall muscles following prolonged atrophy]

A possibility of restoration of the functional condition of the anterior abdominal wall muscles was demonstrated by the electrical activity parameters following long-term atrophy caused by a giant ventral hernia. Restoration of electromyographic indices was more complete when the anterior abdominal wall was stabilized with synthetic prosthesis material, since the muscle fibers in this case failed to be involved in the suture and were in functionally advantageous position.
