This article reviews the epidemiology and classification of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries, the effects of these injuries on nerve and muscle, and how electrodiagnosis is used to help classify the injury. Mechanisms of recovery are also reviewed. Motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, needle electromyography, and other electrophysiological methods are particularly useful for localizing peripheral nerve injuries, detecting and quantifying the degree of axon loss, and contributing toward treatment decisions as well as prognostication.
The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the effect of concentric isokinetic leg extension training on the mean power frequency (MPF) of the mechanomyographic (MMG) signal. Twenty-one men were assigned into a training (TRN; n = 12) or control (CTL; n = 9) group. The TRN group performed six sets of leg extensions 3 days per week for 12 weeks at a velocity of 90 degrees /s. All subjects were tested every 4 weeks for peak torque (PT), while MMG was recorded from the vastus lateralis. PT increased, but there was no significant (P > 0.05) change in the MMG MPF over the 12-week training period. These results indicate that MMG MPF, measured from the vastus lateralis, was not sensitive to training-induced increases in leg-extension strength, possibly due to competing influences of hypertrophy on the MMG signal and/or training-induced adaptations in muscles other than the vastus lateralis.
