Comparison of the Neuromuscular Profile of the First Dorsal Interosseous Muscle and the Flexor Hallucis Brevis Muscle as Measured by Electromyography

Table 1

Onset and recovery times of the first dorsal interosseous muscle and the flexor hallucis brevis muscle after administration of vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg.

	FDIM	FHBM
Onset time (s)	125 ± 36	142 ± 37
Time to TOFR 0.7 (min)	99.2 ± 55.8	92.1 ± 53.9*
Time to TOFR 0.9 (min)	121.7 ± 65.6	110.5 ± 55.6

Values are mean ± SD. First dorsal interosseous muscle (FDIM), flexor hallucis brevis muscle (FHBM), and train-of-four ratio (TOFR). The time from Vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg Injection to Recovery of TOFR 0.7 (time to TOFR 0.7), the time from vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg injection to recovery of TOFR 0.9 (time to TOFR 0.9). (*𝑃<0.013 versus FDIM).
