Electromyographic biofeedback for gait training after stroke

Clinical Rehabilitation
L BradleyP Sanderson

Abstract

To examine the effects of electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback training on the recovery of gait in the acute phase post stroke. Patients were randomly assigned to EMG biofeedback or control groups. They received treatment three times a week for six weeks. All patients were assessed prior to treatment, after 18 treatment sessions, and at three months follow-up. The study was carried out at Scunthorpe General Hospital in North Lincolnshire. The subjects were acute stroke patients who had been admitted on to the medical and elderly wards. The EMG biofeedback group were treated using EMG as an adjunct to physiotherapy. The patients were encouraged to facilitate or inhibit abnormal muscle tone via auditory or visual signals transmitted from electrodes placed over the appropriate muscles. The control group were treated using the same techniques, electrodes were used with this group of patients, but the EMG machine was turned off and faced away from the patient and the therapist to control the placebo effect. A large battery of outcome measures was used for physical and psychological assessment. The physical measures consisted of active movement, muscle tone, sensation, proprioception, mobility and activities of daily living (ADL). The...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
