title: [Enzymatic study of muscle fibers of the antero-lateral wall of the abdomen in man: functional interpretation].
abstract: After a recall of muscular histo-enzymology, the authors expose the results of an analysis of the antero-lateral muscles of the abdomen. They establish a predominance of the muscular fibers, type I, that are tonic as compared with the muscular fibers, type II, that are phasic. Thus the role of support and of maintenance of the intra-peritoneal pressure by these muscles is confirmed. The tonic characteristic is also important for the functional reeducation and the electrotherapy of the abdominal wall.
