Effects of imagery motor training on torque production of ankle plantar flexor muscles.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Improving axonal outgrowth and remyelination is crucial for peripheral nerve regeneration. Miconazole appears to enhance remyelination in the central nervous system. In this study we assess the effect of miconazole on axonal regeneration using a sciatic nerve crush injury model in rats. METHODS:Fifty Spra...
