THE GREAT BLUNDER: LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE – THE MAIN PROBLEM
The main problem is that the muscles were studied outside the human body in vitro (experimentally). What happens to the electrical circuit present in a living person is not exactly the same as in experimental situations. The studying of muscles in vivo (in a live person) is not only inhuman but quite difficult as it would be very painful. As it is, EMG (electromyogram) is used to study muscle function and, like bone-marrow biopsy, lumbar puncture etc, is a very painful investigation. In a living person the muscles receive more information than just the 'electrical impulse' from the nerve that makes them flex.
Muscle tone is a basic phenomenon seen in a living body. The flesh separated from the bone has no tone and so it is flaccid. Muscle tone not only creates the contours of muscles but also keeps them in the state of preparedness. Moreover, the tone keeps the body intact. As I mentioned earlier, stroke victims have frequent dislocation of the shoulder and hip joints. These ball and socket joints are kept in position not only by the ligaments but also by the tone of the muscles around them. Thus in a paralysed limb, the muscles are atonic and fail to keep the ball of the limb bone in the socket of the main bone. The sheer weight of the limb pulls it out of its natural position, thus causing the dislocation. This dislocation further impairs the function of the affected limb as it cannot move very well when the joint becomes dysfunctional.
