Table-3: Muscular Activation of different
muscles of lower limb during different positions of Salat and different exercises.2,18
DTR exaggerated with diminished power 4/5 of distal
muscles of lower limb. Bilateral plantar extensor response.
Electrophysiological studies disclosed the absence of compound muscle action potential (CMAP) in distal
muscles of lower limbs and diminished CMAPs in the upper limbs.
[10] The predominant localisation in the proximal
muscles of lower limbs may be due to large volume of muscle mass and its rich blood supply.
