Watch Dr. Sarah Greising discuss the current pathophysiologic understanding of the skeletal muscle remaining following traumatic musculoskeletal injuries.
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) injuries result in the abrupt loss of skeletal muscle fibers, causing chronic functional disability in part due to limited muscle regeneration and vast co-morbidities. With a focus on clinically relevant outcome measurements for skeletal muscle function in both small and large animal models of VML injury, this webinar presents various near-term interventions for the restoration of tissue function following complex injuries. Interventions evaluated focus on regenerative rehabilitation approaches using regenerative pharmaceuticals to correct underlying muscle pathophysiology.

Founded in 1887, the American Physiological Society is a global leader in expanding knowledge related to biological function. We connect a multidisciplinary community of nearly 10,000 scientists and educators from around the world, driving collaboration and spotlighting scientific discoveries in physiology and related disciplines. Our members are advancing treatments and cures for everything from cancer and heart disease, to obesity and addiction. They are also deepening our insight into living organisms generally, helping us to better understand how things like climate change are affecting the world around us.
