... weeks of one-legged knee immobilization via a full-leg cast. Before and immediately after the immobilization period and after 6 weeks of natural rehabilitation, muscle strength [1RM (one-repetition maximum)], muscle CSA [single slice CT (computed tomography) scan] and muscle fibre type characteristics...

... concave, P < 0.05) and a lesser proportion of type I fibres (63 ± 12% convex, 49 ±9% concave, P < 0.05) on the concavity. 5. The results are consistent with effects on muscle protein turnover secondary to an increased muscle contractile activity on the curve convexity and functional immobilization...

Quadriceps muscle protein turnover was assessed in the post-absorptive state in six men immediately after the end of unilateral leg immobilization (37 ± 4 days) in a plaster cast...

...M. J. White; C. T. M. Davies 1. The contractile properties of the triceps surae were evaluated in 11 patients after unilateral fracture of the lower leg and subsequent immobilization for 135 ± 68 days. Calf muscle cross-sectional area (plus bone: CSA) was assessed from anthropometric measurement. 2...

... that follows fracture immobilization [2, 31 and the disuse osteopenia of strict bed rest 14-61 and weight- lessness 171 are well known. A similar effect of the commonly prescribed bed-rest regimen has not been recognized 181. Any elucidation of the possible consequences of short-term bed rest has been hampered...
