Comparison of Muscle Thickness and Changing Ratio for Cervical Flexor Muscles During the Craniocervical Flexion Test Between Subjects With and Without Forward Head Posture

Physical Therapy Korea, 2022
Background: The craniocervical flexion test (CCFT) was developed for the activation and en-durance of deep cervical flexors. However, the muscle thickness and muscle thickness chang-ing ratio of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and deep cervical flexor (DCF)

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Relationship between Neck Musculature and Head Kinematics during a Collision in University American Football Players [PDF]

The Asian Journal of Kinesiology
OBJECTIVES Sport-related concussion (SRC) has been a focus of recent attention. Amongst American football players, it is often the result of high-energy collisions that cause the head to undergo high kinematics of linear acceleration (LA) and angular ...

Fear conditioning, pre-pulse inhibition and drug modulation of a short latency startle response measured electromyographically from neck muscles in the rat.

Physiology and Behavior, 1986
The present study evaluated if startle measured electromyographically in the neck muscles (having a 5 msec latency) would exhibit behavioral and pharmacological plasticity known to alter startle measured in a stabilimeter device.

Unveiling Novel Surgical Treatments for Facial Synkinesis: Myectomy of the Posterior Belly of Digastric and Stylohyoid Muscle

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Summary:. Facial synkinesis manifests as involuntary muscle movements alongside volitional facial actions and is typically managed with a combination of neuromuscular retraining, botulinum toxin injections, and in some cases, selective neurectomy.
