Practical research on muscles; the myologia practica.

The mass examinations accomplished during previous decades -concerning certain details of the muscular structure and function -disregarded almost entirely examination of the most important practical questions. The wide-spread theoretical examinations, however, only produced results unsuitable for practical purposes. The obvious general neglect of the significance concerning musculature and muscular function thus seems to prove that the muscular examination up to date does not afford sufficient base for practical use. This fact is emphasized increasingly by the newer literature and this has encouraged us a few years ago to start examinations of the results of our muscle it necessary to organize on a basis our research work concerning the “Myologia practica”, as a result the practical muscle examination Beside continuing muscle examinations already started, we undertaken to collect and arrange the usable results concerning the practical research on muscles, in to a general view of the progress of the wide-spread work. to draw attention to the most important tasks. This work we wish to perform partly from medical and partly from sent us by the authors themselves. Therefore it is necessary to emphasize that this work is not confined to the muscles. The “Myologia practica” is based on the results of general and special muscle physiology and introduces a new trend in the synthetic research: i.e. to
