Hallucis Muscle During Cramp Contractions

33 We analyzed individual motor units during electrically-elicited cramp contractions with 34 the aim of characterizing the variability and degree of common oscillations in their discharges. 35 Intramuscular and surface EMG signals were detected from the abductor hallucis muscle of 11 36 healthy subjects (age 27.0 ± 3.7 yrs) during electrically-elicited cramps. In total, 48 motor units 37 were ...

Physiotherapy and electromyography in muscle cramp.

Four cases of muscle cramps, at a sports institute, are presented. Electric activity was increased in cramp due to overload. The influence of stretching, electro- and compression therapies on these increased Electromyographic (EMG) activities was studied. The registration was performed with an EMG-analyser combined with a recorder, using surface electrodes.

Kinematic Assessment Force of Writer’s Cramp Before And During Cramp

In this paper, kinematic characteristics of writing are compared in 5 patient with writer’s cramp who performed a set of standardized writing task. The kinematic characteristics thumb and forefinger force before and during cramp. The effect of writing on different inclined supporting surfaces is also investigated. Our results indicate that inclined surfaces aspects of writing discomfort in writ...

Autosomal dominant muscle cramp syndrome in a Japanese family.

OBJECTIVES To identify the clinical, electrophysiological, histological, and genetic characteristics of a Japanese family with a muscle cramp syndrome. METHODS Fourteen patients (eight men, six women) were studied in four generations of a single family. Electrophysiological examinations were performed in four cases and muscle and nerve biopsies were performed on the propositus. RESULTS The ...
