Download or read book The Effect of Foot Orthoses on Electromyographic Activity of People with and Without Low Back Pain written by Adam Robert Bird and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This was accomplished in a series of linked projects that evaluated people with and without low back pain. The results of this research indicate that some types of foot wedging and foot orthoses significantly affect EMG onset latency of erector spinae and gluteus medius, both in people with and without low back pain. In contrast, EMG amplitude measures were not significantly affected by the interventions. The findings of this research will contribute to the development of more effective foot orthoses to treat low back pain, and facilitate further clinical studies that may more clearly explain the link between foot function and low back pain.
Download or read book Impact of Self Selected Customized Orthotics on Lower Limbs Biomechanics written by Benjamin Dourthe and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customized insoles are commonly prescribed to prevent or treat a variety of foot pathologies and to reduce foot and lower limb fatigue. Due to the patient-specific design and production of such orthotics, the concept of self-selected customized orthotics (SSCO) has recently been developed. The goal of this study was to assess the impact of SSCO technology on several physiological and biomechanical variables during uphill power walking. Thirty male participants underwent an uphill power walking intervention at constant speed in two insoles conditions (control and SSCO). The electromyographic (EMG) activity of their right gastrocnemii and vastii muscles was measured. Perceived fatigue was assessed every 5 minutes and the intervention stopped when the targeted fatigue level was reached. Baseline and post-intervention assessments were also performed. Sixty-three percent of the participants experienced an improvement in foot fatigue while wearing the SSCO. The foot arch seemed to collapse less when participants wore the SSCO, but statistical significance was not reached. The changes in mean EMG activity was not consistent between the 50% isometric contraction and the walking trial. In conclusion, while some interesting trends were observed when wearing SSCO, further investigations should be performed to try and reach statistical significance.

Download or read book The Effect of Carbon and Plastic Ankle foot Orthoses afos on Knee Muscle Activity During Varied Walking Conditions written by Reem W. Behbehani and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are external devices that are prescribed for people who were diagnosed with muscle weakness in the lower extremities. These devices are typically prescribed to accommodate the patients for their weak limb(s) by reducing toe-drag and improving ankle dorsiflexion. Previous work has looked at the effects of an AFO on ankle muscle activity during gait. However, there is a lack of information on how AFOs might influence knee muscle activity during gait under different walking conditions. This study examined the effects of a common posterior leaf spring plastic AFO (PAFO) and anterior shell carbon fiber AFO (CAFO) on knee muscle activity in a healthy population during three different treadmill conditions. It was hypothesized that the design of the CAFO, would create less demand on the knee extensors than either the PAFO or no AFO for all walking conditions. Methods: 15 healthy young adults were recruited for this repeated measures study. Noraxon EMG sensors were used to measure the muscle activity of the rectus femoris (RF), vastus medialis (VM), vastus lateralis (VL), biceps femoris (BF), and semitendinosus (ST) while walking on a treadmill at a comfortable pace. Individuals walked with no AFO, a PAFO and a CAFO during three treadmill conditions (flat, incline, decline). Then, all EMG data were exported to and analyzed using MATLAB, where they were filtered, demeaned, rectified, normalized, and then averaged. Results: Separate one-way ANOVAs were used to identify significant (p
