Paraspinal or intraspinal calcinosis is rare, with reports of calcinosis involving the cervical, thoracic and lumbar separately, but not together. We now report a case of limited cutaneous scleroderma with extensive paraspinal calcinosis of the cervical and lumbar spine.

متن کاملNormative Data for Paraspinal Surface Electromyographic Scanning Using a 25–500 Hz Bandpass
A protocol has been previously described for recording surface paraspinal electromyographic (SEMG) potentials at fifteen paired sites (4 cervical, 7 thoracic, 3 lumbar, 1 sacral) using a bandpass (range of sampled frequencies) of 100 200 Hz. In this paper, normative data from eighty human subjects are presented using this protocol and a 25 500 Hz bandpass.The advantages of a 25 500 Hz bandpass ...
