Isometric contraction of the adductor pollicis muscle of the thumb was evoked by stimulating the ulnar nerve in 20 normal adults and 58 patients with endocrine disorders. We evaluated mechanical latency, electromechanical latency, contraction time, half relaxation time, isometric twitch force, compound muscle action potential, nerve conduction velocity, and relative refractory period. Mechanical characteristics were altered in diseases of the pituitary, thyroid, and parathyroid glands. The close relationship between thyroid hormone and contractile properties discriminated between hypo- and hyperthyroidism.
通过刺激尺神经，在20名正常成年人和58名内分泌紊乱患者中诱发拇指内收肌的等长收缩。我们评估了机械潜伏期、肌电潜伏期、收缩时间、半松弛时间、等长抽搐力、复合肌肉动作电位、神经传导速度和相对不应期。垂体、甲状腺和甲状旁腺疾病会改变机械特性。甲状腺激素与收缩特性之间的密切关系可区分甲状腺功能减退和亢进。
