title: Functional and structural changes in m. vastus lateralis and m. vastus medialis in cases of meniscopathy and chondropathia patellae.
abstract: The skeletal muscle undergoes selective cellular changes in the sense of the myopathic and neurogeneous tissue syndrome, in the case of degenerative joint diseases. The occurring FT-fibre atrophy is coupled with a decrease of the glycolytic activity and of the LDH isoenzyme pattern. A neurogeneous component is under discussion.
