Laryngoscopy proved impossible because of spasm of the masseter muscles, and the airway was secured by blind nasal intubation. There was no evidence of rigidity of other muscle groups. Body temperature and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration remained in the reference ranges. Masseter muscle ...
This phenomenon occurs not only in patients with a structural scoliosis but also in those with a positional scoliosis when muscle spasm causes contraction of the muscles in the flank. When there is a limited amount of retroperitoneal fat, the peritoneal cavity extends posteriorly, so fluid-filled ...
Muscle size and architecture are measurable features at the macro- and meso-scale that govern a muscle’s functional capacity [42]. Deficits to muscle size and architecture indicate functional loss. As a result, previous work has used medical imaging to investigate differences in size and architect...
A spasm is capable of injuring muscle. In this case, I was wrenching back and forth, my own muscles in a tug-of-war with each other. These were perfect conditions for injury. Something had to give, and it did — I had mild strains of all the affected muscles, resulting in not just...
muscle spasm: sudden contraction of muscle, usually in reflexive response to stimulus from external source, for example, back spasm caused by a herniated disk. muscular dystrophy: group of degenerative disorders of muscle resulting in atrophy and weakness; Erb d. dystrophinopathy: autosomal recessive...
