No immediate clinical implications for muscle reinnervation; leaves open intrinsic factors beyond neural input in myosin phenotype determination.
Cross-reinnervation alters myosin expression in cat skeletal muscle, but the extent of transformation depends on the specific muscle, indicating that neural activity alone does not completely dictate myosin phenotype in all muscles.
Gauthier et al. (1983) studied this question.
