An Investigation Into the Electrical Activity of Tender, Resting Paraspinal Muscles Using Surface Electromyography: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Abnormal resting paraspinal muscle activity has been claimed to be responsible for changes in spinal tissue texture which are detectible by manual palpation.

MRI-defined paraspinal muscle morphology in Japanese population: The Wakayama Spine Study. [PDF]
This study aimed to establish sex- and age-dependent distributions of the cross sectional area and fatty infiltration ratio of paraspinal muscles, and to examine the correlation between paraspinal muscle degeneration and low back pain in the Japanese ...

Characteristics of Postural Muscle Activity in Response to A Motor-Motor Task in Elderly [PDF]
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate postural muscle performance of older adults in response to a combination of two motor tasks perturbations. Fifteen older participants were instructed to perform a pushing task as an upper limb perturbation

Enduring Capacity of the Erectores Spinae Muscles in Static Work
The enduring capacity of the erectores spinae muscles for sustained back extension was investigated in 8 normal males at the tensions of 70, 50, 40 and 30% of the maximum strength with a specially deviced dynamometer. Relatively prolonged endurance time was obtained at lower tensions; the critical tension endurable for 10-20 minutes was supposed to be ...

Muscle Fatigue Analysis Using OpenSim
In this research, attempts are made to conduct concrete muscle fatigue analysis of arbitrary motions on OpenSim, a digital human modeling platform. A plug-in is written on the base of a muscle fatigue model, which makes it possible to calculate the ...

Electromyographic analysis of erector spinae muscle for a child with cerebral palsy [PDF]
Abstract The aim of this study was the electromyographic analysis of the erector spinae muscle, using the Noraxon Tele Myo DTS equipment. It’s used to test the neuromuscular function, during physical activity. It allows for detailed localization of the pathological changes in the muscle tissue.
