results the means ± standard deviations of the averaged emg during the lateral and frontal wp exercises were 40.1 ± 19.1, and 23.7 ± 11.3 µv, respectively. those of the percent maximal voluntary contraction during the lateral and frontal wp exercises were 51.4 ± 29.7, and 31.3 ± 20.5, respectively. gmax activity during the lateral wp exercise was significantly higher than that during the fronta...

reticulorumen hypomotility leads to the impaired physiologic functions of the digestive tract. prokinetic action of ginger has been demonstrated in the laboratory animals and human. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of ginger on contraction and motility of reticulum and rumen of ruminants. collected samples of reticulum and rumen from eight sheep were in...

Myofascial syndrome is a muscular pain syndrome with regional symptoms, often in limb girdle or neck and back area. It is common and causes much disability and inability to work. Myofascial pain may be activated by precision work, repetitive strain or recent injury. Typical findings in symptomatic muscles are taut bands and painful trigger points (TrPs), where pressure elicites a typical spread...

OBJECTIVES The primary objective of this study was to determine whether a simplified technique for intraoperative laryngeal electromyography was feasible using standard nerve integrity monitoring electrodes and audiovisual digital recording equipment. Our secondary objective was to determine if laryngeal electromyography data provided any additional information that significantly influenced pat...

BACKGROUND Electromyography and acceleromyography are common neuromuscular monitoring devices. However, questions still remain regarding the use of acceleromyography in children. This study compared the calibration success rates and intubation conditions in children after obtaining the maximal blockade depending on each of the devices. METHODS Children, 3 to 6 years old, were randomly allocat...

OBJECTIVE In some patients with a history of polio, the electromyography is normal, not showing the typical neurogenic signs. The aim of this study was to explain the normal findings in electromyography, especially in paralytic polio. DESIGN Retrospective study. SUBJECTS/METHODS Concentric needle electromyography, macro electromyography (including single fibre electromyography) and neurogra...

INTRODUCTION Surface electromyography has been used to assess the extrinsic laryngeal muscles during chewing and swallowing, but there have been few studies assessing these muscles during phonation. OBJECTIVE  To investigate the current state of knowledge regarding the use of surface electromyography for evaluation of the electrical activity of the extrinsic muscles of the larynx during phona...
