Clinical Trials

Overview

About this study

Intramuscular pressure (IMP) increases as passive tension is induced. We hypothesize, IMP can be used to identify the optimal length in the gracilis muscle during a free functioning muscle transfer. Additionally, with the aid of a computational model, the placement of the free muscle in the upper limb will be a guide for the maximum force production and optimized function.
