Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Introduction: The purpose of this systematic review was to critically appraise current research regarding the use of EMG biofeedback in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. Methods: Various databases were searched including Pubmed (708), CINAHL (232), OVID(6,297), SPORTSdiscuss (22), Google Scholar(51), and Physical Therapy Journal (4,300). A total of 16 articles met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for review. The search terms used were 'chronic pain', 'epidemiology', 'musculoskeletal pain', 'adult', 'biofeedback', 'surface EMG', 'EMG biofeedback', 'electromyographic biofeedback', 'pain', 'Physical Therapy', 'biofeedback training', and 'EMG' Results: Seven of the 16 studies identified a statistically significant decrease in musculoskeletal pain with EMG biofeedback treatment compared to control. Six of the 16 studies showed a statistically significant improvement at both the activity and participation levels. These six studies demonstrated improvement in depression, quality of life, function, aerobic fitness, and activity level in treatment versus control groups. Discussion: EMG Biofeedback has positive effects across all components of the ICF model. It is used across multiple diagnoses but does not appear to be superior to other treatment methods. Nine of the 16 studies did not identify a statistically significant difference for EMG biofeedback compared to controls or other treatments. Conclusion: There is minimal evidence to support the use of EMG biofeedback in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. EMG biofeedback is effective in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain when compared to no treatment. However it is not more effective than other treatment methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and exercise. Clinical Implications: According to the guidelines from the British Medical Journal (GRADE system), evidence in this systematic review is 'very low' quality and therefore the recommendation for the use of EMG biofeedback to reduce musculoskeletal pain is weak. Future Direction: Future research involving larger sample sizes, consistent methodology, and increased follow-up periods should be done to strengthen the clinical recommendation for EMG biofeedback." -- Abstract.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: The shoulder is injury prone and subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) is one of the most diagnosed causes of pain in the region. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activity between healthy and SAIS shoulders on the same subject and to understand the effectiveness of EMG biofeedback (EBFB) on bilateral overhead movements. Design: Ten participants (7 male), that tested positive for 2/3 SAIS clinical tests, volunteered for the study. Bilateral muscle activity was measured via electrodes on the Upper Trapezius (UT), Lower Trapezius (LT), Serratus Anterior (SA), and Lumbar Paraspinals (LP). Kinematic testing involved 3 continuous bilateral scapular plane overhead movements before and after EBFB. EBFB consisted of 10 bilateral repetitions of I, W, Y, and T exercises focused on reducing UT and increasing LT and SA activity. Results: Prior to EBFB, no significant difference in muscle activity was present between sides. A significant main effect of time indicated that after EBFB both sides exhibited reduced UT activity at 60° (p = 0.003) and 90° (p = 0.036), LT activity was increased at all measured humeral angles (p

Download or read book Atlas of Muscle Innervation Zones written by Marco Barbero and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-04 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive electromyography is a well-established diagnostic tool that has been used for decades by neurologists. Recently, new and alternative devices have increasingly become available that permit diagnosis without the use of needles. This developing area of science and the new tools have not, however, been sufficiently investigated in academic training. Consequently a gap exists between what science is making possible and the competence acquired during graduate studies. This handy volume has the aim of filling this gap by providing the information required by medical practitioners in rehabilitation, sports, and occupational health as well as by rehabilitation therapists, ergonomists, and sport coaches. The techniques that are presented and explained will help in monitoring and recording changes, evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and training, evaluating work stations, and preventing and documenting the evolution of occupational disorders of the neuromuscular system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete overview of electromyography with contributions from pacesetters in the field In recent years, insights from the field of engineering have illuminated the vast potential of electromyography (EMG) in biomedical technology. Featuring contributions from key innovators working in the field today, Electromyography reveals the broad applications of EMG data in areas as diverse as neurology, ergonomics, exercise physiology, rehabilitation, movement analysis, biofeedback, and myoelectric control of prosthesis. Bridging the gap between engineering and physiology, this pioneering volume explains the essential concepts needed to detect, understand, process, and interpret EMG signals using non-invasive electrodes. Electromyography shows how engineering tools such as models and signal processing methods can greatly augment the insight provided by surface EMG signals. Topics covered include: Basic physiology and biophysics of EMG generation Needle and surface electrode detection techniques Signal conditioning and processing issues Single- and multi-channel techniques for information extraction Development and application of physical models Advanced signal processing techniques With its fresh engineering perspective, Electromyography offers physiologists, medical professionals, and students in biomedical engineering a new window into the far-reaching possibilities of this dynamic technology.

This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. EMG may be used clinically for the diagnosis of neuromuscular problems and for assessing biomechanical and motor control deficits and other functional disorders. Furthermore, it can be used as a control signal for interfacing with orthotic and/or prosthetic devices or other rehabilitation assists. This book presents an updated overview of signal processing applications and recent developments in EMG from a number of diverse aspects and various applications in clinical and experimental research. It will provide readers with a detailed introduction to EMG signal processing techniques and applications, while presenting several new results and explanation of existing algorithms. This book is organized into 18 chapters, covering the current theoretical and practical approaches of EMG research.
