The duration is unclear but somewhere between 1 week and 3 months. [59] Botulinum Toxin will paralyze a muscle with a much longer duration than local anesthetics, up to 3 months. [ 30 ] By paralyzing a muscle for so long the muscle will atrophy (shrink in size), reducing pressure on nearby structures such as the sciatic nerve . [ 30 ]
However, there is an inhibitory interneuron used to relax the antagonistic hamstring muscle (reciprocal innervation). This test of a basic automatic reflex may be influenced by the patient consciously inhibiting or exaggerating the response; the doctor may use the Jendrassik maneuver in order to ensure a more valid reflex test.
The three 'true' hamstrings cross both the hip and the knee joint and are therefore involved in knee flexion and hip extension. The short head of the biceps femoris crosses only one joint (knee) and is therefore not involved in hip extension. With its divergent origin and innervation, it is sometimes excluded from the 'hamstring ...
Stimulation of the radial nerve during walking is unusual and often indicative of an obstacle that is high enough to make contact with the swinging arm. Concurrent, or simultaneous stimulation of both the superficial fibular nerve (top of the foot) and the superficial radial nerve of the opposite ( contralateral ) arm suggests that the obstacle ...
The muscle is supplied by the inferior gluteal nerve which arises from the dorsal branches of the ventral rami of the fifth (L5), the first and second sacral nerves. [2]The lumbosacral trunk, which is made up of L5 and a small branch of L4, effectively connects the lumbar and sacral plexuses. [3]

Morton's neuroma is a benign neuroma of an intermetatarsal plantar nerve, most commonly of the second and third intermetatarsal spaces (between the second/third and third/fourth metatarsal heads; the first is of the big toe), which results in the entrapment of the affected nerve.
