Index finger position fluctuations reflect multi-muscle coordination
03 February 2012
Kaori Nagata, Shota Hagio, Hiroko Tanabe, Motoki Kouzaki
Abstract: We hypothesized that movement fluctuations in the index finger reflect the integrated result of the coordination of multiple muscles because index finger movements are determined by the coop...
Changes in pain sensitivity following spinal manipulation: A systematic review and meta-analysis
01 February 2012
Rogelio A. Coronado, Charles W. Gay, Joel E. Bialosky, Giselle D. Carnaby, Mark D. Bishop, Steven Z. George
Abstract: Spinal manipulation (SMT) is commonly used for treating individuals experiencing musculoskeletal pain. The mechanisms of SMT remain unclear; however, pain sensitivity testing may provide ins...
Removing ECG contamination from EMG recordings: A comparison of ICA-based and other filtering procedures
01 February 2012
Nienke W. Willigenburg, Andreas Daffertshofer, Idsart Kingma, Jaap H. van Dieën
Abstract: Trunk muscle electromyography (EMG) is often contaminated by the electrocardiogram (ECG), which hampers data analysis and potentially yields misinterpretations. We propose the use of indepen...
Longitudinal evaluation of sEMG of masticatory muscles and kinematics of mandible changes in children treated for unilateral cross-bite
01 February 2012
Conchita Martín, Juan Carlos Palma, Jose Maria Alamán, Jose Manuel Lopez-Quiñones, Jose Antonio Alarcón
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate masticatory muscle activity and kinematics of mandible changes in children with unilateral posterior cross-bite (UPXB) after orthodontic treatment, and ...
Non-thrust manual therapy reduces erector spinae short-latency stretch reflex asymmetries in patients with chronic low back pain
30 January 2012
David A. Goss, James S. Thomas, Stevan Walkowski, Shawn C. Clark, John C. Licciardone, Guang H. Yue, Brian C. Clark
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if non-thrust manual therapy (MT) attenuated side-to-side differences (asymmetry) of the erector spinae (ES) stretch reflex amplitude in nine patie...
