Relevance of the EMG/grip relationship in isometric anisotonic conditions.
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of the present study was to develop a relationship to evaluate grip force using the electromyogram (EMG) in isometric anisotonic conditions. The EMGs of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and the extensor digitorum (ED) were recorded in 3 flexion-extension positions of the wrist (30 degrees flexion, 30 degrees extension, and 60 degrees extension) associated with 3 positions of the forearm (70 degrees pronation, prono-supination, and 70 degrees supination). For each position, the participants had to follow linear ramp targets (2 rates of increase and decrease) displayed on an oscilloscope. The results show the best fit is a quadratic type force-EMG relationship. Some aspects such as the rate of force variation and the forearm and wrist positions are then discussed along with the limitations of the relationship.

متن کاملRelationship between force and electromyographic activity during rapid isometric contraction in power grip.
Force response and surface electromyographic (EMG) activity of extrinsic extensors and flexors of the hand were measured under 6 target force conditions during rapid pulse isometric contractions (power grip) targeted using an oscilloscope display of exerted and target forces. For target forces ranging from 16.7% to 50% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), the rate of force rise increased wit...

The purpose of the study was to examine age-related differences in electromyographic (EMG) responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) during functional isometric contractions in left and right hands. EMG responses were recorded from the first dorsal interosseus muscle following TMS in 10 young (26.6 +/- 1.3 yr) and 10 old (67.6 +/- 2.3 yr) right-handed subjects. Muscle evoked potentia...
متن کاملEMG-based Fatigue Assessment During Endurance Testing With Different VT Protocols
BACKGROUND: Muscle fatigue can be defined as the failure of a muscle to maintain a reasonably expected force output. The multivariate approach to fatigue assessment is used because the multiple (EMG) feature provides more information than anyone. OBJECTIVE: This study presents a method of assessing muscle fatigue during endurance testing at 50% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) using electro...
