Technologies for equine welfare and performance monitoring under field conditions – Where do we stand?

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The need for comprehensive equine welfare assessments has become particularly evident amid ongoing debates about the social licence to operate in equestrian sports. During exercise, multiple physiological systems, principally the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, thermoregulatory, endocrine, and locomotory systems, undergo complex ...

The effects of cervical muscle fatigue on balance - A study with elite amateur rugby league players [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Neck muscle fatigue has been shown to alter an individual’s balance in a similar way to that reported in subjects suffering from neck pain or subjects that have suffered a neck injury.

Characterization of surface EMG with cumulative residual entropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The cumulative residual entropy (CREn) is an alternative measure of uncertainty in a random variable. In this paper, we applied CREn as a feature extraction method to characterize six hand and wrist motions from four-channel surface electromyography ...

Clear Aligners and Bruxism: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This study aimed to systematically evaluate the relationship between clear aligner therapy and bruxism, including both sleep and awake bruxism, to determine whether aligners act as a neutral factor, protective agent, or risk factor. The findings indicate that no definitive conclusion can be drawn, as the current evidence is limited and contradictory ...

Robust Bio-Signal Based Control of an Intelligent Wheelchair

open access: yesRobotics, 2013
In this paper, an adaptive human-machine interaction (HMI) method that is based on surface electromyography (sEMG) signals is proposed for the hands-free control of an intelligent wheelchair. sEMG signals generated by the facial movements are obtained by

Use of spatial information in 2D SEMG array decomposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A new feature extraction/classification method for High Density surface ElectroMyoGraphy (HD sEMG) Motor Unit Aciton Potential (MUAP) decomposition using 2D shape and energy distribution features is presented and experimentally tested ...

Respiratory and non‐respiratory airflow characteristics across ingestive and non‐ingestive swallowing tasks

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Respiratory–swallowing coordination is critical for safe swallowing. Respiratory phase patterns, indicating the direction of respiration bracketing swallowing, appear minimally altered when oral airflow is measured alongside nasal airflow. Measures from an oronasal facemask also demonstrate broader features of swallowing non‐respiratory flow ...

Individuals with Recurrent Low Back Pain Exhibit Significant Changes of Paraspinal Muscle Performance after Lumbar Multifidus Intramuscular Fine Wire Electrode Insertion

open access: yes, 2018
STUDY DESIGN: Case control study. BACKGROUND: Recurrent low back pain (RLBP) is associated with paraspinal muscle dysfunction. Intramuscular electromyography (EMG) is a common tool for studying activation of the deep lumbar paraspinal muscles such as ...

NEX4EX – A novel exercise device enabling resistive, plyometric and sensorimotor training during deep‐space missions: A case report

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract During weightlessness, the human neuro–muscular–skeletal system undergoes maladaptation to the microgravity environment. The European Space Agency (ESA) project NEX4EX, ‘Novel Exercise Hardware for Exploration’, developed an advanced multipurpose exerciser offering resistive (RES), plyometric (PLYO) and sensorimotor (SENSO) exercises.
