This article discusses the role of electromyography in prosthetics dentition defects, as well use dental implants to increase biopotentials masticatory muscles.

BackgroundMusculoskeletal modelling is used to assess musculoskeletal loading during gait. Linear scaling methods are personalize generic models each participant's anthropometry. This approach introduces simplifications, especially when in paediatric and/or pathological populations. study aimed compare results from simulations using various ranging linear scaled highly subject-specific models, ...

Surface electromyography holds great potential in helping patients recover from injuries that result in motor impairments. To be able to assist the patient, the clinician must consider research obtained from the study of implicit/ explicit learning, contextual interference, and basic learning theory. Quantitative surface electromyography (QSEMG) is a technique that is constructed around this ba...

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 u...

The quantification of the bioelectric phenomena originating in nervous and muscular tissues is an essential task in diagnosis within the field of Electromedicine. Clinical electromyography is the part of Clinical Neurophysiology focused on the neuromuscular system, and includes the study of the electrical activity of peripheral nerves (electroneurography), striated muscles (electromyography, in...

This study describes preliminary laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) data and botulinum toxin treatment in patients with dysphonia due to movement disorders. Twenty-five patients who had been clinically selected for botulinum toxin administration were examined, 19 with suspected laryngeal dystonia or spasmodic dysphonia (SD), 5 with vocal tremor, and 1 with Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS). L...

The anatomy and pathophysiology of radiculopathies are reviewed, and the electrodiagnostic approaches used in evaluating patients with suspected root lesions are discussed. Such electrophysiologic procedures include motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, late-response studies, somatosensory and motor evoked potentials, nerve root stimulation, and needle electromyography. The value and limi...
