Botulinum toxin type A injected into the skeletal muscle belly prevents the release of acetylcholine from the presynaptic axon of the motor endplate and blocks signal transmission at the neuromuscular junction.
Also, the status of the motor endplate for EMG recording was evaluated by train-of-four stimulation of the left posterior tibial nerve, with recording from the left abductor hallucis muscle (figure, B).
