Intercostal motor nerves should be left intact to avoid denervating the muscles medially. They also discovered that denervating a regenerating limb before this transition prevents dll from turning on, whereas later denervation does not turn off the gene. Thus, if enlarged motor unit potentials are present, the denervating process must have been present for several weeks at least; in patients with slowly progressive disorders, collateral reinnervation can provide such good functional compensation that 80% to 90% of the motor units may be lost before weakness and muscle atrophy supervene. |
