In the paper we report on our results in the EMG-net INCO Copernicus project. We discuss different data representation formats used for collection and management of electromyography (EMG) data. Data representation is described in the context of the proposed multifunctional platform for EMG studies. The platform architecture consists of four layers: data collection, data analysis, learning and e...

The relationship between muscle activity and behavioral output determines how the brain controls and modifies complex skills. In vocal control, ensembles of muscles are used to precisely tune single acoustic parameters such as fundamental frequency and sound amplitude. If individual vocal muscles were dedicated to the control of single parameters, then the brain could control each parameter ind...

OBJECTIVE To verify the feasibility of initial parameters of ultrasonography or electromyography for the prediction of effect after steroid injection therapy in a carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patient. METHOD We recruited individuals with clinical and electrodiagnostic evidence of CTS. Results from the Boston self-assessment questionnaire, median motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, and...

1) Background: The aim of this study is to present the results experiments in which surface electromyography (sEMG) and thermal imaging were used assess muscle activation during gait verify hypothesis that there a relationship case low fatigue level between sEMG-measured activation, assessed frequency domain, factors calculated as minimum, maximum, kurtosis, mean, median, mode from area interes...

Electromyographic activity of the human Genioglossus muscle in response to respiration and to positional changes of the head.

— Various model parameter calculation equations of RF CMOS inductors are compared. The calculation equations are using as variables either Y, Z-parameters or S-parameters. Results are based on on-wafer RF S-parameter measurements of a 3.75 turn spiral inductor fabricated in AMIS 0.7 μm CMOS DM1P n-well technology. Results obtained with calculation equations for a differentially driven inductor ...

Correlations between physiological, clinical and self-reported assessments of spasticity are often weak. Our aims were to quantify functional, self-reported and physiological indices of spasticity in individuals with thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI; 3 women, 9 men; 19-52 years), and to compare the strength and direction of associations between these measures. The functional measure we introduc...

The purpose of this study was to compare the integrated EMG activity of spastic muscles in brain-damaged patients before and during splint application. Eight patients with spasticity that produced limb posturing were systematically monitored for EMG activity during a two-hour interval without a splint (Nonsplinted Condition), and during a subsequent two-hour period while wearing the splint (Spl...

Cavernosus muscle (CM), seminal vesicle (SV) and vasal ampullary (VA) contractions at ejaculation are said to be reflex mechanisms (ejaculatory reflex), which have been scarcely dealt with in the literature. We investigated the hypothesis that contraction of the CMs, SVs and VA at ejaculation is a reflex action. The electromyographic (EMG) activity of CM, SV and VA during ejaculation was record...

Herpes zoster generally affects sensory nerves, but occasionally motor nerves also are affected,'2 so that flaccid muscle paresis develops in the segments corresponding to the dermatomes in which cutaneous lesions appear. The site of the lesion in the motor neurone is not clear, but the absence of electromyographic fasciculations and slow motor conduction velocity point to motor axon damage. Po...
