[The action of an impulse magnetic field on the motor function recovery of the peripheral nerve trunks]
Abstract:
The cut sciatic nerve trunk was sutured perineurally to study in chronic rabbit experiments of the neuromuscular functional recovery upon the exposure to impulse magnetic field with the intensity 1.2 T. Nonexposed animals served control. Myographic activity of reinnervated crural muscles in the irradiated animals recovered two times more rapidly compared to the controls, so did motor function of the limb operated on. It is inferred that impulse magnetic field produces therapeutic and preventive effect on neurodystrophy resultant from the nerve dissection.

Motor Unit Stimulation
The latent period of contraction marks the onset of excitation-contraction coupling, when the action potential propagates across the sarcolemma, preparing the muscle fibers for contraction. As the fibers enter the contraction phase, the...
