Immediately after EMG, subjects reported their experience of pain on a visual analog scale (VAS). A day later, they filled a VAS for their memory of pain during EMG and a VAS for the residual pain at needle sites. A week later, subjects were crossed over and the same procedure was ...
In conclusion, we presented a novel workflow for multi-scale modeling of the knee joint. The EMG-assisted MS model linked with the muscle force driven FE model with FRP(V)E cartilages and menisci can be used for evaluating knee joint kinematics, load distribution and tissue responses in diffe...
Application of surface EMG topography in low back pain rehabilitation assessment. In International IEEE/EMBS Conference on Neural Engineering, 557–560 (IEEE, 2007). Kleine, B.-U., Schumann, N.-P., Stegeman, D. F. & Scholle, H.-C. Surface EMG mapping of the human trapezius muscle: the...
the robot drives arm movement while the person remains passive. The pROM is the maximum range of motion the person has with minimal or no pain. For aROM, a robot may place the arm in an initial position/orientation from which the person performs unassisted joint movements to determine the...
At needle insertion on each of the four sites, the electromyographist asked the patient to score his degree of pain on a 10 cm (1 = no pain, 10 = worst pain) visual analogue scale (VAS). The same procedure was repeated at muscle insertion. Muscle insertion was easily identified, the...
The person been evaluated had to draw a line vertically, corresponding to the intensity of pain perceived. The score corresponded to the distance in millimeters between the edge of the scale and where the line is marked. This was used as pretest and posttest. Semantic Differential. In this ca...
These participants reported a maximum pain intensity of 4/10 on the verbal numerical rating scale, localized to their back region prior to the maximal voluntary tasks. Pain was not aggravated for any of the participants during testing. Table 1. Summary of participants, reported in mean(SD) and...
visual analogue scalechronic painneckshoulderThe relationship between pain and EMG levels was studied in 17 cervicogenic headache patients and 17 group-matched healthy controls. All subjects performed a 1-hour, complex, two-choice, reaction time test. Every 10 minutes before, during, and also for ...
Fifteen grey-scale dynamic female human faces displaying happiness (n = 5), anger (n = 5), and fear (n = 5) were taken from the Cohn-Kanade Expression database118, which has become one of the most widely used stimuli for studies of facial expression analysis118,119. One...
