Correlation of compound action potential and electromyography with facial muscle tension

Correlation of pain and lumbar arch with electromyography of ankle muscle in athletes with low back pain

 Aims and background: Aims and background: Lumbar muscle imbalances could affect the lower extremity. The aim of present study was to survey the relationship between pain and lumbar arch with ankle muscle activity and comparison these variables in males and females with chronic non-specific low back pain when implementing single leg squat. Materials and methods: 47 Participants with chronic non...

Acute nerve compression and the compound muscle action potential

Detecting acute nerve compression using neurophysiologic studies is an important part of the practice of clinical intra-operative neurophysiology. The goal of this paper was to study the changes in the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) during acute mechanical compression. This is the type of injury most likely to occur during surgery. Thus, understanding the changes in the CMAP during thi...

Electromyography, nerve action potential and compound motor action potentials in OBPL Validation in the absence of a gold standard

Calcified mucor fungus ball of the maxillary sinus.

Functional electric stimulation is a new method for dynamic rehabilitation of paralyzed muscles. The output of such prosthetic devices needs to be modulated by some index of the muscle movement. In facial paralysis a measure of the muscle contractions of the normal contralateral side seems to be an appropriate input. In the rabbit, we simultaneously measured the compound action potential of the...

Electromyography and Facial Paralysis

The facial motor system is responsible for functions critical to physical, social and psychological well-being (VanSwearingen & Brach, 1996). Facial nerve paralysis is a lifealtering clinical condition, with functional, aesthetic and communication implications for the individuals who are afflicted (Hadlock, 2008). It differs from most other clinical conditions in that it is the end result of a ...
