  • Title: Is increased voluntary motor activity beneficial or detrimental during the period of motor nerve regeneration/reinnervation?
    Author: Soucy M, Seburn K, Gardiner P.
    Journal: Can J Appl Physiol; 1996 Jun; 21(3):218-24. PubMed ID: 8792026.
    Abstract:
    A model of partial denervation of the rat lateral gastrocnemius was used to investigate the effects of daily activity (treadmill plus voluntary wheel exercise) on the regeneration/reinnervation of motoneurons recovering from nerve crush. It appears that increased activity has no effect on axon regeneration rate, but may be detrimental to the reinnervation process.
