Functional muscle balance assessment in multiple sclerosis.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed the presence of a structural and functional asymmetry explained by the tendency of increasing the tonus at mRF level in order to compensate the knee stability. We noticed a decrease in Tc value at the mRF level, but close to the value of the two lower limbs. TMG analysis revealed the asymmetry of the muscle composition at the level of the antagonist muscle groups of the thigh, with an increase in the percentage of type II fibers in the previous group, which became hyperton, and a decrease in the percentage of type I fibers in the posterior group.
