The objective of this study was to analyze the electromyographic (EMG) data, before and after normalization. One hundred (100) normal subjects (with no signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders) participated in this study. A surface EMG of the masticatory muscles was performed. Two different tests were performed: maximum voluntary clench (MVC) on cotton rolls and MVC in intercuspal position. The normalization was done using the mean value of the EMG signal of the first examination. The coefficient of variation CV showed lower values for the standardized data. The standardization was effective in reducing the differences between records from the same subject and in different subjects.

Specifications and functional impact of a self-triggered grasp neuroprosthesis developed to restore prehension in hemiparetic post-stroke subjects.

Background: Stroke is the leading cause of acquired motor deficiencies in adults. Restoring prehension abilities is challenging for individuals who have not recovered active hand opening capacities after their rehabilitation. Self-triggered functional electrical stimulation applied to finger extensor muscles to restore grasping abilities in daily life is called grasp neuroprosthesis (GNP) and remains poorly accessible to the post-stroke population.

Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune neuropathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness, often caused by immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies. There are several subtypes of GBS, of which acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) is one of the most severe subtypes associated with axonal damage. It is well known that the current clinical standard of treatment is intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) and plasma exchange (PLEX), but some patients often show limited response or experience persistent disability.

Soft tissue vibrations (STV) can generate discomfort during running. Recent research has shown that footwear affects the amplitude of STV differently across runners but no studies have linked human characteristics and footwear construction yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate the runner specific STV responses to various midsole hardness and to identify functional groups, that is, groups of runners responding similarly to a given intervention.

Background: The role of the anconeus epitrochlearis (AE) in cubital tunnel syndrome, either as protector or potential compressor of the ulnar nerve, as well as its prevalence in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients are still unclear. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of the AE in a large cohort using 3-dimensional imaging and to investigate any association of the AE with preoperative or postoperative features of patients undergoing cubital tunnel surgery.
Methods: From a database of 1240 elbow MRIs, all patients with an AE were retrospectively screened for major criteria of cubital tunnel syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- - This study compares traditional elastic band exercises with functional exercises to assess their effectiveness in activating the muscles of the ankle joint and foot.
- - Thirty women participated, and muscle activity was measured in various exercises using surface electromyography to analyze the activation of specific muscles.
- - Results indicated that functional exercises resulted in greater muscle activation than traditional exercises, suggesting that they are more effective for improving muscle function and performance in individuals with ankle and foot dysfunction.
