Effects of forearm rotation on wrist flexor and extensor muscle activities.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tokyo Medical University Ibaraki Medical Center, Ami-Town, Ibaraki-Pref., Japan.
The forearm muscles coordinately control wrist motion, and their activity is affected by forearm rotation. Although forearm rotation has been implicated in the development of lateral and medial epicondylitis, its biomechanical background remains unknown. Therefore, the present study investigated the activity of wrist muscles in various forearm positions.

Clinic for Orthopaedics, Heidelberg University Hospital, Heidelberg, Germany.
Duchenne gait, characterized by an ipsilateral trunk lean towards the affected stance limb, compensates for weak hip abductor muscles, notably the gluteus medius (GM). This study aims to investigate how electromyographic (EMG) cluster analysis of GM contributes to a better understanding of Duchenne gait in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). We analyzed retrospective gait data from 845 patients with CP and 65 typically developed individuals.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is widespread, under-recognized, and under-treated, impacting the health and quality of life for millions. The current gold standard for sleep apnea testing is based on the in-lab sleep study, which is costly, cumbersome, not readily available and represents a well-known roadblock to managing this huge societal burden. Assessment of neuromuscular function involved in the upper airway using electromyography (EMG) has shown potential to characterize and diagnose sleep apnea, while the development of transmembranous electromyography (tmEMG), a painless surface probe, has made this opportunity practical and highly feasible.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Relatox, a type of botulinum toxin, in treating focal spasticity of the upper limb caused by cerebrovascular accidents or traumatic brain injuries.
- It involved 210 patients divided into two groups; one received Relatox injections, while the other received Dysport. Both groups showed a reduction in spasticity over 12 weeks, with no significant differences between the two treatments.
- Various measurements were used to assess spasticity, disability, pain, and treatment satisfaction, and both medications were found to be effective, with a report on adverse events collected throughout the study.
Electromyographic Activity of Cervical Muscles in Patients with Neck Pain and Changes After Dry Needling: A Narrative Review.
J Clin Med

Unidad de Investigación en Fisioterapia, Spin Off Centro Clínico OMT-E Fisioterapia SLP, Universidad de Zaragoza, Domingo Miral s/n, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain.
Neck pain can be associated with specific conditions, such as neurological disorders, vascular or inflammatory diseases, fractures, herniated discs, etc. However, the majority of neck pain cases cannot be attributed to a specific cause. The objective of this review is to describe the muscle dysfunctions associated with neck pain, as measured by electromyography, and to determine the effectiveness of dry needling in improving these muscular dysfunctions.
