Canine inflammatory myopathy: analysis of cellular infiltrates.

abstract：:The electrical and mechanical properties of paralyzed human thenar muscles were measured in response to supramaximal stimulation of the median nerve in individuals with chronic cervical spinal cord injury. These data were compared to those recorded from control muscles. Spontaneous motor unit activity was common in pa...
