Venous obstruction in healthy limbs: a model chronic compartment syndrome?

Article Abstract:

Research points out that development of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) in the anterior tibial compartment due to reduced venous blood flow caused intramuscular pressures can be induced in healthy subjects by external venous occlusion of the anterior tibial compartment. However, the syndrome development follows different paths in CECS patients and healthy subjects.

Increases in blood flow and shear stress to nonworking limbs during incremental exercise

Article Abstract:

A study aims to determine whether blood flow and shear stress would change in inactive limbs during acute incremental exercise and is done using Doppler transducers. It is found that the conduit arteries in the nonworking limbs are exposed to increases in blood flow and shear stress during exercise depending on the work intensity.

Tibialis anterior volumes and areas in ACL-injured limbs compared with unimpaired

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to find how muscles that control the ankle are affected by an ACL injury in both copers and noncopers by finding their volumes and cross-sectional areas. The copers' ankle muscles were similar to unimpaired subjects and the noncoper's muscles of injured leg were larger than those of uninjured legs.
