SPMLs & EtOH

Above, we see the obturator nerve looking down from above traveling to the left obturator canal where it passes from inside the pelvis to outside branching just before or as it passes through the canal. So, with slight placement change we can focally dysmyelinate the common branch, and coming off that the anterior branch and the posterior branch. There are pathways here for hip adductors AND hamstrings which are especially rich in those of the higher muscle speed types. It, in a way, is more representing speed sensitive musculature than muscles by name. We get asked a lot about using ultrasound to find nerves. The problem is that we want to stimulate the nerves we find to gauge what contribution they have to the spastic reflex problem. So, no help.
