Functional Outcomes in Skeletal Muscle Disorders: Integrated Biological Evidence looks at skeletal muscular disorders, both structurally and on a cellular level. The DVD also discusses the parallels between muscular injury and dystrophy. In addition, the DVD reviews the key factors involved in excitation contraction (EC) coupling and the difference between muscle repair and muscle regeneration. The DVD also details the cellular level of skeletal muscles. Finally, the DVD characterizes and qualifies musculoskeletal disorders, including how they affect the muscles, joints, and nerves.
