Lack of sufficient exercise and development of muscle disuse atrophy probably contributed.
2.
When you paralyze the muscles, you have disuse atrophy,
3.
Research targets muscular dystrophies, inflammatory myopathies, muscle ion channel diseases, and muscle disorders such as disuse atrophy and age-related loss of muscle mass.
4.
The new level may be higher than the initial level ( hypertrophy ) in the case of strength training or lower in the case of dieting or disuse atrophy.
5.
"' Diaphragm "' Controlled mechanical ventilation may lead to a rapid type of disuse atrophy involving the diaphragmatic muscle fibers, which can develop within the first day of mechanical ventilation.
6.
The astronauts'performance on the lunar surface provided no reason to believe that any serious exercise tolerance decrement occurred during flight, except that related to lack of regular exercise and muscle disuse atrophy.
7.
"Disuse atrophy " of muscles and bones, with loss of mass and strength, can occur after prolonged immobility, such as extended bedrest, or having a body part in a cast ( living in darkness for the eye, bedridden for the legs etc . ).
8.
Disuse of the muscles, such as when muscle tissue is immobilized for even a few days of unuse when the patient has a primary injury such as an immobilized broken bone ( set in a cast or immobilized in traction ), for example will also lead rapidly to disuse atrophy.
9.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation, also known as Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation ( NMES ) can also be used to activate hypotonic muscles, improve strength, and generate movement in paralyzed limbs while preventing disuse atrophy ( p . 498 ) . When using NMES it is important to have the patient focus on attempting to contract the muscle ( s ) being stimulated.
