Vasty
Definition:
(a.) Vast; immense.
Example Sentences:
(1) Recordings were also made during stimulation of nerves to the gracilis muscle and to the vasti muscle group.
(2) Four children investigated for neuromuscular disorder by routine ultrasound imaging showed selective involvement within the quadriceps femoris muscle, with involvement of the vasti and sparing of the rectus femoris.
(3) The integrated electromyographic signals associated with the peak torque for all of the vastus muscles, along with the vastus medialis obliquus:vastus lateralis and vastus medialis longus:vastus lateralis activity ratios showed no significant differences between groups nor between the three angles, suggesting that all vasti measured were consistently active throughout the studied range of motion.
(4) The limited monosynaptic input produced by stimulation of the nerves to the gracilis and vasti muscles showed that their Ia axons do not distinguish between the two semimembranosus cell groups.
(5) Vasti motoneurons were excited, and PB-ST motoneurons were inhibited by knee extensions when the posterior articular nerve (PAN) was intact; these effects were lost or substantially reduced when the PAN was cut.
(6) The recording technique must be capable of differentiating rectus femoris action from that of the underlying vasti, which surface electrodes are not able to do.
(7) In that position the vasti muscles together with the semimembranosus formed a force couple for stabilizing the knee joint.
(8) The results of this study indicate that although with increases of speed and upward tilt the absolute values of integrated EMG increased more for the calf than for the vastus muscles, the relative increases of EMG were consistently greater for the vasti, which reached their peak intensity of activity at moments during the walking stride, when their knee extending action stretched the gastrocnemius heads across the back of the knee joint, and thereby assisted the calf muscles lift the heel, and plantar flex the ankle joint--the most essential actions for producing the push-off and thrust in the normal walking stride.
(9) His SF has been called "space opera", and its grand reach across the vasty deep is one reason.
(10) Positive feedback was observed in both knee extensor (vasti) and knee flexor (posterior biceps-semitendinosus (PB-ST)) motoneuron populations.
(11) The pattern of membrane potential variations was more complex in motoneurons of rectus femoris and posterior biceps-semitendinosus muscles, but phases of chloride dependent inhibition were nevertheless identified, mainly during the sartorius nerve activation in the case of rectus femoris, and during the vasti and anterior biceps-semimembranosus nerve activations in the case of posterior biceps-semitendinosus.
(12) The operative procedure recommended is either release of the affected vasti at their insertion to the patella or Z-lengthening of the common tendon of the quadriceps.
(13) vasti medialis and lateralis both have a synergistic function with regard to the extension of the knee and an antagonistic function in stabilizing the rotation of the femur against the tibia.
(14) In the mixed type, an additional division of the scarred portion of the vasti is needed.
(15) vasti is very important in preventing knee injuries, especially ligamentous ruptures.
(16) In motoneurons innervating sartorius (medialis and lateralis), vasti (intermedius, medialis and lateralis) and anterior biceps-semimembranous, one depolarization occurred in each locomotor cycle, alternating with a phase of repolarization that was synchronous with the activation of the antagonistic muscle nerve.
(17) Vasti and gluteus maximus muscles are the major energy producers of the lower extremity.
