Conclusion The free vascular transplantation of denervated extensor digitorum brevis and extensor halluces brevis can reconstruct the oral appearance for the treatment of late facial paralysis.
Conclusions Tenodesis using the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon is a simple and effective procedure for treatment of distal radioulnar joint dorsal subluxation without arthritic change.
The inhibitory effects of ouabain on aerobic glycolysis in the extensor digitorium longus (EDL) muscles were more obvious and sensitive than those in the soleus muscles.
These muscles include the flexor digitorum profundus which flexes the fingers at the interphalangeal joints, and the extensor digitorum which hyperextend them at the metacarpal phalangeal joint.
They don't really have so many of the extensor muscles that are the weight-bearing muscles; instead, they rely on retractor muscles to pull themselves along.
One muscle of each pair is called the flexor. It bends a joint and brings a limb closer to the body. The other muscle, the extensor, does the opposite.
