The Autonomic Function Testing Laboratory at the Baylor College of Medicine Neuropathy Center is now established and equipped with the state-of-the-art equipment. This laboratory is designed to quantitatively evaluate the function of the autonomic nervous system.
After scar tissue forms and healing has taken place, the scar needs to be remodeled so that it can tolerate the stress and forces that the body may encounter throughout each day. The remodeling process is essential to ensure that normal range of motion, strength, and mobility are restored to the injured tissue.
Scar tissue is fibrous, connective tissue â made primarily of fibrin â which the body uses to replace previously healthy tissue that has been destroyed by injury or disease. Under normal conditions, scar tissue should be the final result during typical inflammatory response.
