No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Our aim is to investigate which components of the quadriceps femoris muscle are affected following an ACB with different volumes (10, 20 and 30 ml) of 1% lignocaine evaluated by electromyography. Both a placebo treatment (20ml saline) and the femoral nerve block (20ml lignocaine 1%) as an active comparative will be used for model control. Further, we want to investigate the effect of volume on motor block. This will be evaluated by measuring the Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC) of the quadriceps femoris muscle.
