Muscles and Ligaments

– Discussion:     – T1 images provide contrast between muscles & adjacent tissues;     – normal Muscle has low-intermediate signal intensity on both T1 & T2 images where as inflammation and lesions of muscle will have an increased signal on T1 & (even higher on) T2 images,     – its important to note … Read more

Musculocutaneous Nerve

– Discussion:     – derives from lateral cord (C5, C6):     – musculocutaneous nerve passes through coracobrachialis; between biceps &  brachialis, & becomes lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve at elbow;     – it has only muscular branches above elbow & only sensory branches below;     – lesion of this nerve produces weakness of … Read more

Multiple Sclerosis

– See: EMG in Demyelinating Neuropathies: – Discussion:     – is a relapsing, and commonly progressive disorder of the white matter of the CNS;     – is the most common demyelinating disease to affect the spinal cord and brain;     – 80% of cases involve the cord, and 20-33% show symptoms referable … Read more

Multisegmented Hook Instrumentation

– See: Cotrel-Dubousset – Discussion:      – multisegmental hook systems, like CD and TSRH, provide multiple points of fixation to the spine and allow both compression and            distraction on the same rod;     – added strength is obtained w/ use of several transverse traction devices, which convert the system to rigid rectangle; … Read more

Muscle Contraction

– Isometric Contraction:     – w/ isometric (static) contraction, external muscle length does not change;     – internally, however, within the fibril the distance between the Z-lines does shortens; – Isotonic Contraction:     – is one in which constant internal force is produced, & muscle shortens;     – it is  also defined … Read more
