A Simplified Protocol to Analyse the Emg Parameters in Brachioradialis Contraction
نویسنده
چکیده
The new pedagogical ideas about teaching sciences suggest that hands-on experiment is the more effective way of attracting and motivating students. The objective of the present study was to investigate the function of the brachioradialis muscle (BR) in different contractions. The analysis of four of the most common sEMG parameters, offers the way to investigate the quality of functions of the brachioradialis muscle. During isometric contractions, sEMG amplitude is smaller than the one in isotonic contractions. The study shows that there is similar power spectral density in different types of isotonic contractions of BR.

Electromyographic measures of muscle activation and changes in muscle architecture of human elbow flexors during fatiguing contractions.
The study compared changes in intramuscular and surface recordings of EMG amplitude with ultrasound measures of muscle architecture of the elbow flexors during a submaximal isometric contraction. Ten subjects performed a fatiguing contraction to task failure at 20% of maximal voluntary contraction force. EMG activity was recorded in biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis muscles using ...
متن کاملThe function of brachioradialis.
PURPOSE The function of the brachioradialis muscle is controversial. The objective of this study was to determine primary and secondary functions of the brachioradialis under various loading tasks as measured by EMG. METHODS Ten healthy individuals (9 men, 1 woman; average age, 34 years +/- 10; average height, 175 cm +/- 7; average weight, 76 kg +/- 13) performed elbow flexion with the forear...
متن کاملSupernormal Conduction Velocity in Human Muscle 29 LONG-LASTING SUPERNORMAL CONDUCTION VELOCITY AFTER SUSTAINED MAXIMAL ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION IN HUMAN MUSCLE
We studied muscle fatigue and recovery on healthy males by means of surface and invasive EMG, on biceps brachii and brachioradialis muscle. Fatigue was induced by 1 min of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), recovery was studied during 60 min (surface EMG) and 15 min (invasive EMG). The main finding was a long-lasting 'supernormal' muscle fiber conduction velocity (MFCV) during recovery. After...
متن کاملRelative contribution of individual muscles to the isometric contraction of a muscular group.
A technique was developed for calculating the torque generated by two individual muscles (biceps brachii and brachioradialis) that contribute to the isometric flexion of the elbow. The external torque is the sum of individual torques which are unknown. Each individ.ual torque (C, or C,,) can be related to the corresponding integrated rectified surface EMG (Qe or QBR) by means of coefficients @a...

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a resistance training program based on the electromyographic fatigue threshold (EMG(FT), defined as the highest exercise intensity performed without EMG alterations), on the EMG amplitude (root mean square, RMS) and frequency (median frequency, MF) values for biceps brachii (BB), brachioradialis (BR), triceps brachii (TB) and multifidus (MT).
