Replacing fat reserves and complete movement units is enough to prevent lasting decline
Where this hypothesis actsForce-transmission territories associated with selected quadriceps and soleus motor units
What is proposedReplace a 20% baseline fraction of associated tendon force-transmission territories
With whatPhysical or surgical intervention
HowViable replacement alongside the selected complete motor units in one initial treatment with no scheduled repeat
Possible resultPossible restoration of force transmission needed for the combined replacement set to preserve recovery
