Functional and structural changes in m. vastus lateralis and m. vastus medialis in cases of meniscopathy and chondropathia patellae.
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.
