Record 1 2026-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rehabilitation (Medicine)
  • Muscles and Tendons
  • Nervous System
CONT

Muscle–tendon vibration(MTV) was first introduced as an experimental tool to probe proprioception and neuromuscular physiology by mechanically stimulating muscle proprioceptors through a cyclic stretching of the muscle–tendon complex.... When applied continuously over several minutes, MTV often induces a reduction in maximal voluntary force, along with decreased spinal excitability and increased cortical activity... Repeated exposure over days or weeks has also been shown to improve strength, postural control and functional capacity in both healthy individuals and clinical populations(e. g., stroke or neurological disorders), highlighting the potential of MTV in rehabilitation and performance contexts...

Key term(s)
  • musculo-tendinous vibration

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réadaptation (Médecine)
  • Muscles et tendons
  • Système nerveux
CONT

La vibration musculo-tendineuse (VMT) est une nouvelle avenue pour la prise en charge des troubles proprioceptifs. Cette méthode de neurostimulation active les fuseaux neuromusculaires et permet d'induire, en l'absence de vision, une illusion de mouvement cohérente avec l'étirement du groupe musculaire vibré (p. ex. la vibration des muscles fléchisseurs reproduit une extension).

C14H10N4O5
formula, see observation
7261-97-4
CAS number
CONT

Dantrolene causes skeletal muscle relaxation through a direct effect on the muscle. This action appears to be due to a reduction of calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in response to the muscle action potential.

Chemical formula: C14H10N4O5

CAS number
CONT

Le dantrolène produit la relaxation du muscle strié par un effet direct sur le muscle. Il semblerait que cette action soit le résultat d'une réduction de la quantité de calcium libéré du réticulum sarcoplasmique en réponse au potentiel d'action du muscle.

  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
DEF

Record 6 2003-03-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Regulations and Standards (Food)
  • Slaughterhouses
DEF

The general outline of the muscle formation of a livestock carcass.

OBS

Although muscle depth is now included in the grading formula, its influence is minor. Because of this, a very large difference in muscling would be required to affect carcass index, therefore, the drawbacks of selecting for increased muscling are greater than the potential benefits.
