Electromyography Exposes Heterogeneity in Muscle Co-Contraction following Stroke
Walking after stroke is often described as requiring excessive muscle co-contraction, yet, evidence that co-contraction is a ubiquitous motor control strategy for this population remains inconclusive. Co-contraction, the simultaneous activation of agonist and antagonist muscles, can be assessed with electromyography (EMG) but is often described qualitatively. Here, our goal is to determine if c...
متن کاملEARDRUM DISPLACEMENT FOLLOWING STAPEDIUS MUSCLE CONTRACTION by
Simultaneous monitoring in human subjects on the same ear of eardrum displacement by tympanomanometry, and acoustical impedance by the Madsen bridge, provided information concerning contraction of the stapedius muscle and its effect on eardrum displacement. Extensive control procedures were employed to elicit only the stapedius reflex: lower intensity auditory stimulation, electrocutaneous stim...
متن کاملEffect of Characteristics of Dynamic Muscle Contraction on Crosstalk in Surface Electromyography Recordings
An investigation into the ability of different spatial filters to reduce the amount of crosstalk in a surface electromyography measurement was conducted. A simulation model was implemented to compare the performance of four spatial filters under dynamic muscle contractions. Two parameters of a dynamic muscle contraction, namely muscle shortening and varying contraction force, were evaluated sep...
متن کاملChanges in Quadriceps and Hamstring Co-Contraction Following Landing in Microgravity Condition: Comparing Females with Different Activity Levels
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the differences in the co-activation of the rectus femoris (RF) and biceps femoris (BF) using the co-contraction index (CI) in aquatic and land environments during a drop-landing task in active and non-active females. Methods: In this casual-comparison study, 10 active and 10 non-active females volunteered to participate. The CI was calculated from record...
متن کاملThe Effect of Exhaustive Protocol on Knee Muscle Co-contraction in Healthy People and with a Pronated Foot during Running
Background and Aim: Fatigue and abnormalities in the lower extremities, such as the pronated foot, can adversely affect the biomechanics of human movements such as running, leading to a lack of muscle contraction and unstable symptoms in the joints of the lower extremities (knees). Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exhaustive protocol on knee muscle co-c...
