Objective: To asses relationship between abdominal muscles superficial Electromyography (EMG) and ultrasound measurement during Pelvic Floor Muscles (PFM) contraction in healthy people. Methods: 15 healthy women participated in the study. Their abdominal muscles activation (transversus abdominis, internal oblique and external oblique muscles) was measured by EMG and sonography during maximal ...

Objective: Neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. Structural and functional alteration of cervical muscles is a commonly-reported complication of chronic neck pain (CNP). Measurement of muscle thickness is an acceptable way to evaluate muscle morphological structure. Therefore, this study aimed to measure cervical extensor muscles thickness in individuals with chronic no...

Background and purpose: Ultrasonography is a reliable and valid method to assess the strength of neck extensors and measuring the neck muscles dimensions. Cervical muscles strength and dimensions may change in different positions. The aim of this study was to compare the strength of cervical extensor muscles and dimensions of semi-spinalis capitis muscle (SECM) in three different neck positions...
