“…This has recently also been shown for trunk muscles. 18 Ultrasonography of facial muscles affected by facial neuropathy may close the diagnostic gap in the first 14 days after onset when EMG does not unfold its full potential, as degenerative changes do not reach the target muscles before 10-14 days after onset. 2,19 Neuropathy seems to lead to rapid changes in ultrasonographic muscle parameters.…”

“…This technique provides a unique insight into the activation patterns of the core musculature due to its ability to measure the activation of individual muscles without interference from other muscles. Measuring the activation of deep muscles, such as the IO and TA, is not feasible with either sEMG or intramuscular EMG due to limitations such as crosstalk, signal cancelation, and invasiveness of the procedure [33][34].…”

Core muscle characteristics during walking of patients with multiple sclerosis

Abstract-The purpose of this study was to investigate core muscle characteristics during walking in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Eight patients (4 men) with relapsing-remitting MS (aged 44.9 +/-8.6 yr) and sex-matched controls (37.9 +/-8.4 yr) walked on a treadmill for 15 min at a self-selected speed. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging was used to measure core muscle activity immediately after walking based on glucose uptake. Activity was not different between the MS and control group for any of the identified muscles (p > 0.28). Within the MS group, side differences in activity were identified in the lateral flexor group, the external and internal obliques, and the rectus abdominis (p < 0.05), with the lessaffected side being activated more. Furthermore, greater muscle volume was found on the more-affected side of the transversus abdominis, quadratus lumborum, and the low-back extensor group (p < 0.03). These muscle characteristics suggest patients with MS utilize compensatory mechanisms during walking to maintain balance and posture. These strategies likely result in increased muscle energy cost and early fatigability.

“…The comparison between ultrasound and EMG in muscle activation is worth highlighting [53]. In this study, muscles at rest and at maximum voluntary contraction were assessed in 30 healthy volunteers, yielding a correlation between ultrasound measurements and EMG monitoring of r = 0.51-0.61, which leads to the ultrasound increasingly being considered as a tool for measuring the activity.…”

Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging Evaluation in Physiotherapy: Piloting a Systematic Review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Research of ultrasound use in physiotherapy and daily practice has led to its use as an everyday tool. Methods: The aims were: (1) Checking the proposed systematic review protocol methodology; (2) evaluating the evidence from the last five years; and (3) coordinating the work of the team of reviewers in performing a complete systematic review. Thus, this is a pilot study prior to a full systematic review. The findings in databases related to health sciences with the meta-search engine Discovery EBSCO, Covidence, and Revman were used. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were described for eligibility. Results: Search provided 1029 references regarding the lumbar region on ultrasound scans. Of these, 33 were duplicates. After Covidence, 996 studies were left for screening. A full-text reading brought one randomized clinical trial (RCT). Conclusions: Validity and reliability references were found. The most suitable points were novice versus expert, and ultrasound versus electromyography (EMG) with just one RCT cohort, and observational and case reports. The lines of investigation increasingly endorsed the validity of using ultrasound in physiotherapy. Post-acquisition image analysis could also be a future line of research.
