Attempted rapid elbow flexion movements in patients with athetosis.
Voluntary rapid elbow flexion movements were studied in 14 patients with athetosis on the basis of cerebral palsy. When the movement was attempted with one arm, other muscles inappropriate for the task, such as muscles in the opposite limb, were also activated. EMG activity of the biceps and triceps was analysed in detail, and the patterns seen in the different patients were divided into six gr...
متن کاملRapid elbow movements in patients with torsion dystonia.
Rapid, self paced and self terminated elbow flexion movements were studied in a group of 10 patients with dystonia affecting the arms. The movements were slower and for small amplitude movements, more variable than those recorded in normal subjects. The duration of the first agonist burst was prolonged, even when compared with normal subjects deliberately moving slowly. Cocontraction of agonist...

SATO, K., NAKAMURA, R. and NAGASAKI, H. EMG Activities of the Biceps Brachii at Rapid Elbow Flexion during Passive Movements. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1983, 139 (2), 219-220 Seven normal subjects were asked to flex the left elbow as quickly as possible, responding to a tone stimulus under three conditions: 1) during passive flexion of the elbow, 2) during passive extension and 3) without passive mo...
متن کاملElbow Flexion and Extension Movements Characterization by Means of EMG
Electromyographic (EMG) signal is the electrical manifestation of neuromuscular activation associated with muscle contraction. The present work intends to characterize the behavior of the muscles biceps and triceps during elbow flexion and extension movements, without load. These movements were performed at horizontal and vertical planes. Three types of test were performed, for each plane, rela...
متن کاملEffect of age and gender in the control of elbow flexion movements.
In previous studies of rapid elbow movements in young healthy men, characteristic task-dependent changes in the patterns of muscle activation when movement speed or distance was varied have been reported. In the present study, the authors investigated whether age or gender is associated with changes in the patterns of muscle activity previously reported in young men. Arm movements of 10 healthy...
