Motor Unit Properties in the Biceps Brachii of Stroke Patients Assessed with Surface Array Emg
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a consequence of a stroke, both motor control as well as motor unit (MU) characteristics may change, e.g. MU size has been reported to increase due to reinnervation [1]. The high selectivity of array surface electromyography enables the non-invasive investigation of motor unit action potentials (MUAPs). The aim of the present study was to investigate how differences between the affected an unaffected side of hemiparetic stroke patients are reflected in surface array electromyography parameters.

Analysis of linear electrode array EMG for assessment of hemiparetic biceps brachii muscles
This study presents a frequency analysis of surface electromyogram (EMG) signals acquired by a linear electrode array from the biceps brachii muscles bilaterally in 14 hemiparetic stroke subjects. For different levels of isometric contraction ranging from 10 to 80% of the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), the power spectra of 19 bipolar surface EMG channels arranged proximally to distally al...
متن کاملRe-evaluation of EMG-torque relation in chronic stroke using linear electrode array EMG recordings
The objective was to re-evaluate the controversial reports of EMG-torque relation between impaired and non-impaired sides using linear electrode array EMG recordings. Ten subjects with chronic stroke performed a series of submaximal isometric elbow flexion tasks. A 20-channel linear array was used to record surface EMG of the biceps brachii muscles from both impaired and non-impaired sides. M-w...
متن کاملNonlinear surface EMG analysis to detect changes of motor unit conduction velocity and synchronization.
Amplitude and frequency content of the surface electromyographic (EMG) signal reflect central and peripheral modifications of the neuromuscular system. Classic surface EMG spectral variables applied to assess muscle functions are the centroid and median power spectral frequencies. More recently, nonlinear tools have been introduced to analyze the surface EMG; among them, the recurrence quantifi...

Background and aims : In our daily lives hand tools are often used in many work situations. With respect to design characteristics, hand tools can be considered a risk factor when a high level of repetition are required or when awkward postures are adopted. Therefore attention to ergonomics design rules for hand tools is the most important factor in design process. With this in mind, the aim ...
متن کاملMotor unit synchronization is increased in biceps brachii after exercise-induced damage to elbow flexor muscles.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of eccentric exercise on correlated motor unit discharge (motor unit synchronization and coherence) during low-force contractions of the human biceps brachii muscle. Eight subjects (age, 25 +/- 7 yr) performed three tasks involving isometric contraction of elbow flexors while EMG (surface and intramuscular) records were obtained from biceps ...
