Quantitative Surface Electromyography: Applications in Neuromotor Rehabilitation
نویسنده
چکیده
Surface electromyography holds great potential in helping patients recover from injuries that result in motor impairments. To be able to assist the patient, the clinician must consider research obtained from the study of implicit/ explicit learning, contextual interference, and basic learning theory. Quantitative surface electromyography (QSEMG) is a technique that is constructed around this basic research in order to present the optimal learning environment for the patient.

Facilitating Motor Learning in a Child with a Chromosome Translocation: Applications of Quantitative Surface Electromyography
Physical rehabilitation typically conjures up images of an adult in physical therapy to recover from an accident or injury. Children are also the unfortunate victims of strokes, head injuries, and developmental disorders. In this case study, a child with a rare genetic disorder is helped to learn to stand using a modification of surface electromyography, quantitative surface electromyography (Q...
متن کاملNeuroplasticity and neuromotor synergies in context of rehabilitation after stroke: a systematic review
Background: Alterations of neuroplasticity and cortical excitability are important pathophysiological factors in stroke. Modulation of the neuroplasticity has been proposed as an underlying mechanism of recovery in different neurological disorders. But it is not still clear how the CNS faces the complexity of muscle control. Neuroplastic processes may be used for the functional improvement of s...
