Analysis of muscle fiber conduction velocity during finger flexion and extension after stroke.
BACKGROUND: Stroke survivors experience greater strength deficits during finger extension than finger flexion. Prior research indicates relatively little observed weakness is directly attributable to muscle atrophy. Changes in other muscle properties, however, may contribute to strength deficits. OBJECTIVES: This study measured muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) in a finger flexor and extensor muscle to infer changes in muscle fiber-type after stroke. METHODS: Conduction velocity was…

Franz Awarded Falk Catalyst Grant to Restore Diaphragm Function After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
Colin K. Franz, MD, PhD, has been awarded a Falk Medical Research Trust Catalyst Award to support a new translational research project focused on restoring diaphragm function after high cervical spinal cord injury. The project, titled Accelerating Diaphragm Reinnervation After Spinal Accessory to Phrenic Nerve Transfer Using Human Axon Fusion Technology, addresses a major unmet need in neurorehabilitation and respiratory care.
