[Purpose] To compare the appearance time of the ventilatory threshold point and the electromyographic threshold in the activity of the vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, biceps femoris long head and gastrocnemius lateral head muscles during ramp cycling exercise in elderly males. [Subjects and Methods] Eleven community dwelling elderly males participated in this study. Subjects performed exercis...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the stomatognathic system individuals with controlled systemic hypertension through comparison a disease-free control group. Seventy (44 female and 26 male) were divided into two groups: (n=35) (n=35). evaluated on basis masticatory cycle efficiency value ensemble-averaged integrated linear envelope electromyographic signal masseter temporalis muscles in ha...

BACKGROUND To explore the feasibility of transcutaneous electromyographic respiratory muscle recordings to automatically quantify the synchronicity of patient-ventilator interaction in the pediatric intensive care unit. METHODS Prospective observational study in a tertiary paediatric intensive care unit in an university hospital. Spontaneous breathing mechanically ventilated children < 18 yea...

background: gait disorder is a common motor complication after stroke. studies have revealed that conventional physiotherapy cannot manage this disorder efficiently; therefore, more studies regarding efficient treatment protocols are crucial. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of compelled weight-bearing approach on muscle activation patterns during walking in individuals w...

BACKGROUND This study compares the mental and physical workload of laparoscopic and robotic technique while performing simulated surgical tasks in a laboratory setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten volunteer surgeons performed two tasks in a laparoscopic trainer using laparoscopic (LAP) and robotic (ROB) techniques. Outcome measures included: Task time, task-error, vertical/horizontal arm displa...

The muscle activity, electromyographic (EMG) signal steadiness and relationships between the EMG signal and endurance time among males and females have long been investigated and continue to be a subject of controversy. The aim of this study was to explore the electromyographic effects on the biceps brachii (BB) muscle of male and female subjects during prolonged isometric contraction (for 90 s...
