Static Surface Electromyography and Neuromuscular Reeducation

Static Surface Electromyography and Neuromuscular Reeducation Static surface electromyography can provide an objective test of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar posterior areas that needs to be performed within a clear clinical or ergonomic context. It is of great help in postural assessment in the standing position in people with healthy backs or postural dysfunctions. The author has devised a protocol that allows statistically based treatment and more valid clinical interpretation. Most often, static surface electromyography is a necessary precursor to dynamic surface electromyography of any area of clinical concern. When appropriate, neuromuscular reeducation with surface electromyography biofeedback can be performed to improve resting tonus dysfunctions observed on the static surface electromyography testing. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Biofeedback Allen Press

Abstract

Static surface electromyography can provide an objective test of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar posterior areas that needs to be performed within a clear clinical or ergonomic context. It is of great help in postural assessment in the standing position in people with healthy backs or postural dysfunctions. The author has devised a protocol that allows statistically based treatment and more valid clinical interpretation. Most often, static surface electromyography is a necessary precursor to dynamic surface electromyography of any area of clinical concern. When appropriate, neuromuscular reeducation with surface electromyography biofeedback can be performed to improve resting tonus dysfunctions observed on the static surface electromyography testing.
