Clinical Utilization of Surface Electromyography and Needle Electromyography: A Comparison of the Two Methodologies
نویسنده
چکیده
Needle and surface electromyography are 2 distinct modalities. They are both electro-physiological techniques aimed at the investigation of neuromuscular dysfunction. The clinical utilization of each technique is insuffi ciently known to the nonspecialist or to the typical patient. The present article aims at presenting a succint description of each modality and the differences between the two in the clinical context.

Objective: Evaluation of paraspinal muscles endurance in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) seems to be of great importance. Many studies demonstrated that surface electromyography has merit to assess muscle fatigue using frequency spectrum. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the eligibility of the surface electromyography in the assessment of paraspinal muscles fatig...
متن کاملComparing the Electromyography Activity of Core Muscles During Side Plank Exercise on Stable and Unstable Surfaces
Objective Numerous abdominal exercises with Swiss ball are used to improve core stability with strengthening and rehabilitation goals. It is claimed that the stability exercises have a greater impact on core muscle activation, but the validity of this claim is still in doubt. Moreover, there is no comprehensive study on the comparison of the core muscles activity in different core stability exe...
