Effect of static stretch training on neural and mechanical properties of the human plantar-flexor muscles.

abstract：:Focal entrapment of the ulnar nerve occurs most frequently in the region of the elbow, at the ulnar groove or beneath the humeroulnar aponeurosis. Surgical treatment commonly involves transposition of the nerve anterior to the medial epicondyle, in the antecubital fossa. Symptoms may recur after surgery, and, to asses...
