Uma vez que a transmissibilidade deste est?mulo ? reduzida quando aplicado sob os p?s, permanece uma lacuna no que tange a potencializa??o da for?a de preens?o manual (FPM) na posi??o est?tica, com as m?os sobre a plataforma, em indiv?duos saud?veis. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o efeito dose-resposta da exposi??o ? vibra??o na posi??o est?tica, com as m?os sobre a plataforma na FPM e nos registros eletromiogr?ficos (EMG) do m?sculo flexor superficial dos dedos. Vinte e oito mulheres saud?veis (idade: 27 + 8 anos, IMC: 23,2 + 4,5 kg.m-2) foram familiarizadas e submetidas de forma randomizada e aleatorizada a quatro situa??es experimentais: A). Sentado - m?os supinadas, apoiadas nas pernas, sem est?mulo vibrat?rio; B) Placebo ? m?os posicionadas sobre a plataforma desligada e est?mulo sonoro mimetizando o est?mulo de vibra??o; C). 25Hz / 2mm e D). 45Hz / 2mm - semelhante ? posi??o placebo com est?mulo vibrat?rio vertical sinusoidal em diferentes freq??ncias, com aplica??o da amplitude de 2mm. O per?odo de interven??o foi de 5 minutos em todas as situa??es experimentais. Antes e imediatamente ap?s as interven??es, o desempenho muscular da m?o dominante foi avaliado usando o dinam?metro de for?a manual (Jamar, EUA). Os registros EMG (Miotec, Brasil) ocorreram durante as situa??es experimentais. A raz?o neuronal representou a rela??o entre registros EMG e for?a de preens?o. A an?lise estat?stica foi realizada por ANOVA bifatorial, com post hoc (Tukey), sendo considerado p <0,05 significativo. Como resultado, a exposi??o ? vibra??o de 45Hz / 2mm resultou em um aumento de varia??o (p?s-antes) na FPM em m?dia de 84,6%, 93,7%, 62,6% para controle, placebo e 25Hz / 2mm, respectivamente. Este aumento foi acompanhado por uma menor rela??o neuronal. Os registros EMG durante o per?odo de interven??o demonstraram que apenas a exposi??o ao VCI (45Hz / 2mm) aumentou os registros EMG em uma m?dia de 94,8 % e 50,2% em rela??o ao controle e placebo, respectivamente. Esses achados mostram que a exposi??o ? vibra??o na posi??o push-up modificada est?tica potencializou a resposta miog?nica da m?o de forma dose dependente. O mecanismo parece estar relacionado com a estimula??o do sistema neuromuscular e a subsequente potencia??o p?s-ativa??o que defende o aprimoramento neural. / Disserta??o (Mestrado Profissional) ? Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Reabilita??o e Desempenho Funcional, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2017. / Because the transmissibility of vibration is lower when applied under the feet, an uncertainty remains as to whether this stimulus could potentiate handgrip strength (HS) in the static modified push-up position. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of vibration in the push-up position on HS and electromyography (EMG) of the superficial flexor muscle of the fingers. 28 healthy women (age: 27 + 8 years, BMI: 23.2 + 4.5 kg.m-2) were familiarized and submitted, to four experimental situations in a balanced, and randomized order: A). Seated supine with hands supported on the legs; B) Placebo ? hands on the platform off; C). 25 Hz/2 mm/49.30 m.s-2 and, D). 45 Hz/2 mm/159.73 m.s-2 similar to the placebo position with vibration turned on. The intervention was 5-minutes in all experimental situations. Muscle performance was evaluated using the HS dynamometer (Jamar, USA). The EMG (Miotec, Brazil) was registered throughout experimental situations. The neuronal ratio represented the ratio between EMG and HS. The 45 Hz exposure resulted in an increase in variation of the HS by 84.6%, 93.7%, 62.6% relative to the control, placebo and 25 Hz, respectively. This augment was accompanied by a lower neuronal ratio. The EMG during the intervention demonstrated that only 45 Hz increased the EMG by an average of 94.8%, and 50.2% compared to the control and placebo, respectively. In conclusion, the vibration in the push-up position potentiated the HS. The mechanism seems to be related to the stimulation of the neuromuscular system and subsequent post-activation potentiation advocating neural enhancement.

Syfte Syftet med studien var att observera bilateral effektutveckling, samt muskelaktivering i de övre extremiteterna. En bilateral övning observerades för att se om skillnader i muskelaktivering och effektutveckling fanns i dominant respektive icke dominant övre extremitet, samt diskutera dess implikationer. Metod Nio tränade deltagare fick utföra armcykling på en armergometer som modifierats så att rörelsen blev bilateral. Armcyklingen pågick i cirka åtta minuter med fyra belastningsnivåer (30W, 60W, 90W, 120W) där 50 RPM eftersträvades. Vid varje belastningsnivå registrerades effektutveckling och EMG under 30 sekunder. Medelvärdet av effektutvecklingen i dominant och icke dominant sida jämfördes med ett tvåvägs oberoende ANOVA. Resultat Vid effektutvecklingen hos dominant och icke dominant sida av kroppen fanns en statistisk signifikant skillnad mellan dominant och icke dominant sida F (3, 64) = 4.13, p = .046; med en medelstor effektstorlek (partial eta squared = .061) p-värdet sattes till .05. Icke dominant sida utförde mest arbete. Bakre deltoideus aktiverades generellt sett lika mycket i dominant och icke dominant sida, dock var icke dominant sida mer aktiv. De dominanta fingerflexorerna hade en större aktivering kontra de icke dominanta. Slutsatser Studien fann signifikant skillnad i effektutveckling av dominant och icke dominant sida av de övre extremiteterna där icke dominant sida gjorde ett större arbete. Muskel EMG visade stora individuella skillnader hos deltagarna. / Objectives The objective of the study was to observe bilateral power production and muscle activation in the upper extremities. A bilateral exercise was observed to see if differences in muscle activation and power production was present in dominant and non-dominant extremities, and furthermore discuss the implications. Method Nine trained participants performed arm cycling on a modified arm ergometer so the movement became bilateral. During eight minutes of cycling with four levels of intensity (30W, 60W, 90W, 120W) where 50 RPM was strived for. 30 seconds of power production and EMG data were recorded for each intensity. A two-way independent ANOVA was conducted on the mean values of power production of the dominant and the non-dominant side. Results There was a significant difference in the dominant and non-dominant side F (3, 64) = 4.13, p = .046; with a medium effect size (partial eta squared = .0.61) p value set to .05. The nondominant side did the majority of the work. The posterior deltoids had a similar muscle activation, however the non-dominant activated more. The dominant finger flexors activated more than the non-dominant with large individual differences within the sample group. Conclusions This study found significant differences in power production in the dominant and the nondominant side of the upper extremities. The non-dominant side had a greater power production. The EMG-data showed great individual differences within muscle activation.

In the first stage there is flaccidity and loss of voluntary movements that afterwards is substituted by mass patterns and spasticity. The spasticity brings with itself functional deficits and can generate negative impacts in various motor patterns. The aim of this research was to investigate the hyperreflexia and identify the immediate effects of transcutaneous nervous stimulation (TENS) and cryotherapy in the spasticity and electromyographic activity of hemiparetic subjects. The study is characterized as an almost experimental type, in which were selected, to compose the sample, 16 patients of both sex with CVA sequel. These individuals were evaluated by collecting the amplitude peak to peak and H reflex latency, Motor response (M response) in solear muscle and the electromyography (EMG) of the injured and healthy legs anterior tibial muscles. In the injured limb the evaluations occurred in different days for cryotherapy, TENS and control, in two moments, before and after the interventions. The healthy limb was evaluated one single time to serve as baseline, for comparison with the injured limb. It was used an statistic analysis, the t paired student test to identify the H reflex differences, latency and EMG of the injured and healthy limbs and to compare the results before and after the recourses application. The ANOVA for related samples was used to identify the differences among the recourses used. It was attributed for the statistic tests a significance level of 5%. The amplitude peak to peak of normalized maximum H reflex through the maximum motor response (Hmax/Mmax), showed itself significantly increased in the injured limb (p=0.0245). The H reflex latency was presented reduced in the injured limb (p=0, 0375). The electromyographic activity was showed decreased in the injured limb (p< 0.0001). After the TENS there was a Hm?x/Mm?x ratio decrease (0.60?0.16 versus 0.49.?0.18; P = 0.0006). Nonetheless, Just after the cryotherapy application there was an increase of Hm?x/Mm?x ratio (0.58 ? 0,15 to 0.77 ? 0.13, P=0,0007) and increase of signal latency (30.41 ? 1.87 versus 33.24 ? 2.19; P=0.0001). The electromyographic activity wasn t altered significantly by any resource. It was met statistic significant differences when the Hm?x/Mm?x P<0.0001) ratio and H reflex latency (P<0.0001) were compared between the post TENS, cryotherapy and control. One can conclude that the TENS can be used to spasticity immediate reduction, and that the cryotherapy can increase the hyperreflexia state in spastic patients. Nonetheless, the spasticity decrease or increase didn t provoke lectromyographic activity change in the muscle that is opponent to the spastic one / Acidente Vascular Encef?lico (AVE) ? o termo empregado para caracterizar uma les?o vascular isqu?mica ou hemorr?gica, que tem como principais manifesta??es cl?nicas, o dist?rbio da fun??o motora e reflexa. No est?gio inicial h? presen?a de flacidez e falta de movimentos volunt?rios, que posteriormente ? substitu?do por padr?es em massa e espasticidade. A espasticidade traz consigo d?ficits funcionais e pode gerar impactos negativos em diversos padr?es motores. O objetivo da pesquisa foi investigar os efeitos imediatos da eletroestimula??o nervosa transcut?nea (TENS) e crioterapia na espasticidade e na atividade eletromiogr?fica de sujeitos hemipar?ticos. O estudo caracteriza-se por ser do tipo quase experimental, no qual foram selecionados para compor a amostra, 16 pacientes de ambos os sexos com sequela de AVE. Estes indiv?duos foram avaliados captando-se a amplitude pico a pico e lat?ncia do reflexo H, resposta Motora (resposta M) no m?sculo solear e o eletromiograma (EMG) do m?sculo tibial anterior do membro comprometido e n?o comprometido. No membro comprometido as avalia??es ocorreram em dias diferentes para crioterapia TENS e controle, em dois momentos, antes e depois das interven??es. O membro n?o comprometido foi avaliado uma ?nica vez para servir como linha de base, para compara??o com o membro comprometido. Utilizou-se na an?lise estat?stica, o test t de student pareado para identificar as diferen?as do reflexo H, lat?ncia e EMG do membro comprometido e n?o comprometido e para comparar os resultados antes e depois da aplica??o dos recursos. A ANOVA para amostras relacionadas foi utilizada para identificar as diferen?as entre os recursos utilizados. Atribuiu-se para os testes estat?sticos o n?vel de signific?ncia de 5%. A amplitude pico a pico do reflexo H m?ximo normalizado pela resposta motora m?xima (Hm?x/Mm?x), mostrou-se significativamente aumentada no membro comprometido (p=0.0245). A lat?ncia do reflexo H reduziu no membro comprometido, com essa redu??o sendo estatisticamente significativa (p=0,0375). A atividade eletromiogr?fica se mostrou diminu?da no membro comprometido (p< 0.0001). Depois da TENS houve uma diminui??o da rela??o Hm?x/Mm?x (0.60?0.16 versus 0.49.?0.18; P = 0.0006). No entanto, logo ap?s a aplica??o do gelo houve um aumento da rela??o Hm?x/Mm?x (0.58 ? 0,15 para 0.77 ? 0.13, P=0,0007) e aumento da lat?ncia do sinal (30.41 ? 1.87 versus 33.24 ? 2.19; P=0.0001). A atividade eletromiogr?fica n?o foi alterada significativamente por nenhum recurso. Foram encontradas diferen?as estatisticamente significativas quando a raz?o Hm?x/Mm?x (P<0.0001) e lat?ncia do reflexo H (P<0.0001) foram comparadas entre o p?s-TENS, P?s- crioterapia e controle. Pode-se concluir que a TENS pode ser utilizada para fins de redu??o imediata da espasticidade, e que a crioterapia pode aumentar o estado de hiperreflexia nos pacientes esp?ticos. Entretanto, a diminui??o ou o aumento da espasticidade n?o ocasionou altera??o na atividade eletromiogr?fica do m?sculo antagonista ao esp?stico

L’objectif de ce travail de thèse était d’étudier, selon une approche intégrative, les facteurs intrinsèques et extrinsèques influençant les performances mécaniques et neuromusculaires lors d’exercices de sprint de courte durée sur ergocycle. La première étude a examiné l’effet du genre et le type d’exercice sur la reproductibilité des indices de la relation force-vitesse sur ergocycle. Les résultats ont révélé que la reproductibilité de la relation force-vitesse était plus élevée chez les hommes et au niveau des membres inférieurs comparativement respectivement aux femmes et aux membres supérieurs. La deuxième étude a investigué l’effet de deux charges (8,7 et 11% de la masse corporelle, BM) sur la reproductibilité des indices de puissance mécanique au court d’un test de Wingate. Les résultats ont révélé une reproductibilité comparable entre les deux charges. Cependant, la puissance était plus élevée à 11% BM. La troisième étude a comparé les indices de puissance de la relation force-vitesse et du test de Wingate selon l’aptitude anaérobie des sujets. Les résultats ont montré que la puissance maximale était sous-estimée lors des tests de Wingate réalisés contre des charges non optimales (8,7% BM) notamment chez les sujets sportifs. La quatrième étude a exploré l’effet du contexte émotionnel sur la performance neuromusculaire lors d’exercices de sprints répétés. Les résultats ont révélé un effet positif du contexte plaisant comparativement au contexte déplaisant sur la performance neuromusculaire. Ces résultats suggèrent que la motivation extrinsèque affecte, via la valence émotionnelle (plaisir-déplaisir), la performance lors des exercices maximaux de courte durée. / The aim of the present work was to study, using an integrative approach, the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence the mechanical and neuromuscular performances during sprint exercises on a cycle ergometer. The first study examined the effect of exercise and gender on the reliability of the mechanical measurements from the force-velocity tests. The results showed that the reliability of the force-velocity test was higher in men and lower limbs compared to women and upper limbs, respectively. The second study investigated the effect of two loads (8.7 and 11% of body mass, BM) on the reproducibility of mechanical power indices during a Wingate test. The results showed comparable reliability between the two loads. However, power output was significantly higher at 11% BM. The third study compared power indices computed from the force-velocity and Wingate tests among two groups of male subjects with different physical fitness. The results showed that the Wingate tests performed against non-optimal loads (8.7% BM) underestimated maximal power especially in powerful subjects. The fourth study investigated the effect of the emotional context on neuromuscular performance during repeated cycling sprints. The results revealed a positive effect of pleasant context on neuromuscular performance compared to the unpleasant context. These results suggest that extrinsic motivation affects via the emotional valence (pleasant-unpleasant) the performance during all-out exercises.

Author: Hirofumi Sageshima Title: Electromyographic analysis of the cervical flexion during different body positions Aim and Purpose: The aim of this study is to find out the muscle activity and the muscle coordination during cervical flexion in 3 different positions - standing, sitting and supine - with electromyographic analysis in young healthy adults. Methods: This study compared superficial cervical flexor muscles activity during conventional cervical flexion to 20 volunteered healthy subjects with surface electromyography (EMG). The activity of 5 paired muscles - sternocleidomastoid, scalenus, suprahyoid, infrahyoid and superior part of trapezius - were measured when they performed 15-time cyclic cervical flexion-extension from neutral to maximum cervical flexion on 3 different positions - sitting, standing and supine - in random order. Results: Significantly higher EMG amplitude was detected from all measured muscles on supine position than sitting and standing (p < 0.05). It was also confirmed that muscle activation pattern was different according to positions; its amplitude on supine reach the peak in the earlier phase of movement, while it was delayed on 2 other positions (p < 0.05). In terms of onset, all cervical flexors activated together in the very beginning. However, on sitting and...

Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist die Klassifikation von funktionellen Elektromyographie-Signalen des Nervus facialis, die bei Parotidektomien und sanierenden Ohr-Operationen aufgezeichnet wurden. Hierfür wurde eine detaillierte Analyse der intraoperativ auftretenden Aktionen Stimulation, Koagulation, Einsatz der Fräse und Spülung an Hand von geeigneten Signalparametern (Amplitude, Dauer, Fläche/Symmetrie, Leistung und Frequenz) durchgeführt. Darüber hinaus erfolgte eine Gegenüberstellung der EMG-Daten der zwei durchgeführten operativen Eingriffe und ein Vergleich der zwei untersuchten Erfolgsorgane des Nervus facialis (Mm. orbiculares). Dabei zeigten sich in allen Parametern relevante Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen Kategorien. Auf Grund dieser Ergebnisse lässt sich schlussfolgern, dass es möglich ist, ein Klassifikationsschema für die intraoperativen EMG Signale des Nervus facialis zu entwickeln. Dieses ist unabhängig von der Art des durchgeführten Eingriffs und unabhängig vom beobachteten Fazialisast. Als weiterführendes Ziel soll diese Klassifikation der Kontrolle kraftgetriebener Instrumente nach dem Prinzip „Navigated Control“ dienen.

Les paradigmes expérimentaux de l'initiation de la marche (IM) et du rattrapage de l'équilibre (RE) consécutif à une chute-avant ont été choisis pour identifier les adaptations motrices éventuelles chez les enfants souffrant de lésions cérébrales (PC) bilatérales et unilatérales vs. les enfants avec un développement normal (DN). Les enfants PC et DN étaient âgés entre 5 et 16 ans. Les enfants PC avaient une marche autonome sans aide technique. Les résultats montraient que, dans l'IM, les différents groupes d'enfants présentent des patterns biomécaniques et d'activités EMG comparables lorsque l'appui est sain. Plus particulièrement, la présence d'un freinage de la chute pendant la phase pendulaire, qui est l'indice qui caractérise la maturation du processus de la marche, chez les plus jeunes PC indique l'absence de retard. Lorsque l'appui est sur le côté lésé, le freinage est absent voire faible. Cette absence de freinage peut être imputée à la modification de l'appui en équin. De même, les tracés biomécaniques et EMG dans RE montraient des patterns comparables entre les différents groupes d'enfants. Toutefois une différence remarquable peut être distinguée par rapport à l'activité EMG des muscles fléchisseurs plantaires et dorsaux des adultes. Chez les adultes, la chute provoque une réponse précoce bilatérale des Soleus accompagnée parallèlement d'une activité de faible amplitude des TA. Chez les enfants, les TA montraient une importante bouffée EMG en même temps que la bouffée du Soleus. La suppression de cette bouffée précoce lorsque la chute est rapidement arrêtée annihilant l'exécution du pas suggère que les enfants DN et PC déclencheraient en même temps la réaction à la chute et le programme d'initiation du pas. Si les enfants PC pouvaient réalisés les deux tâches motrices, exécution du pas normal et exécution du pas provoqué, c'est semble-t-il grâce à la toxine botulique qui avait permis à l'enfant PC de se mettre debout libre, apprendre à contrôler son équilibre postural et la marche. / Experimental paradigms of gait initiation (GI) and balance recovery (BR) following a forward-fall were chosen to study motor adaptation in cerebral palsy (CP) children as compared to typical development children (TD). Children age ranged between 5 and 16 y.o. PC children walked independently. Results in GI showed that biomechanical and EMG pattern are comparable between the different groups when stance foot was on sound side. More particularly, the presence of fall braking during swing phase, which is a maturation index of gait process, in young CP indicates that there is no delay. When stance foot is on affected side, fall braking is absent that can be explained by equines foot. In BR, biomechanical and EMG traces are comparable between the different groups. However, if compare to adults, there is a striking difference in the EMG patterns. In adults, the fall elicited a bilateral burst of EMG in Soleus muscle, in parallel Tibialis anterior (TA) showed concomitant EMG activity but with lower amplitude. In children, TA showed a burst of EMG activity in parallel to SOL. This TA EMG burst was suppressed whether the fall was arrested annihilating the stepping. This result suggests that children trigger at the time the fall reaction program and the stepping program. If CP children can carry out both motor tasks, normal stepping and provoked stepping, this was thanks to use of botulinum toxin which help children standing up. Then, the mechanism of balance control can operate, and supporting gait acquisition.
