triceps surae muscle

Effects of repeated eccentric exercise on the triceps surae muscles of human subjects.

Another method for treatment that patients who experience astasia is to have therapy for the triceps surae muscle.

Weakness of the triceps surae muscle has been seen in many patients who have been diagnosed with astasis.

The bilateral triceps surae muscle, made up of the gastrocnemius and the soleus, is essential to maintain a straight posture while standing.

This helps to indicate that one of the main causes of astasia without abasia is weakness in the triceps surae muscle.

A combination of weakness of the triceps surae muscle, peripheral neuropathy, and irregular postural movements are the leading theories thus far.

The calf is composed of the muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg: The gastrocnemius and soleus (composing the triceps surae muscle) and the tibialis posterior.

A single dose of botulinum toxin (BoTX) was injected subcutaneously to induce neuromuscular blockade in the triceps surae muscles of the hindlimbs of neonatal and adult rats.

H-reflexes (and M-responses) were recorded from the distal aspects of the right triceps surae muscle of 8 men and 8 women, aged 20 to 37 years, with no neuromuscular impairments of the lower extremities.

Both the afferent volleys from the dorsal root and the monosynaptic reflex discharges from the corresponding ventral root were recorded with hook electrodes during stimulation of the nerves innervating the triceps surae muscles.

Electromyographic (EMG) studies of the leg muscles in PD patients have shown an extreme reduction in the activation of the tibialis anterior muscle in the early stance and in the early and late swing phases, and a reduction in triceps surae muscle bursting at push-off.
