Is arthrogenic muscle inhibition present in the limb contralateral to a simulated knee joint effusion?
Knee joint effusion results in ipsilateral but not contralateral impairment of quadriceps function. Rehabilitation protocols after knee joint injury should focus on ipsilateral neuromuscular and mechanical alterations that occur as the result of joint damage.
Inhibition of anti-dsDNA-antibody was induced by co-immunization with synthesized SSB peptide and DNA, which might explain, at least partly, the mild disease in some LE subsets associated with SSB antibody.
