“…To describe the mathematical relation between work done and EMG potential value of BF and MG muscles, we have to achieve more accuracy of the measured results and a nonlinear curve fitting is performed on the measured data. From linear regression analysis, we have estimated a mathematical relationship between work done and corresponding EMG potential generated from BF and MG muscle are given in following (6) and (7), respectively. According to our proposed mathematical model, we have calculated the EMG potential for each of the weight associated work done.…”

Estimation of human lower limb motions is elementary to enable power-assist robotic systems used for lower limb disabled persons. These robotic systems are based on lower limb muscles electromyographic (EMG) signals. EMG allows for the measurement of the change in the membrane as voltage from our muscles relates to work done. Apparently, there is no particular technique to estimate the mathematical relation between work done and surface EMG (sEMG) value of lower limb muscles. This study aims to propose a numerical model to estimate the muscle work done in the human lower extremity. This paper investigates the activity of the Biceps Femoris (BF) and Medial Gastrocnemius (MG) muscles of healthy subjects during lifting different known weight to a defined height and corresponding sEMG voltage is measured. It is observed that EMG voltage maintain almost non linear parabolic relationship with work done. We have also shown the accuracy of our proposed mathematical model considering all facts of errors numerically. A significant findings is that incrementing weight over 2 kg undergoes in saturated EMG potential, which means muscle fatigue creates in lower limb muscles in that situation.

“…Strengthening stroke survivors' religious beliefs may aid them in coping with their disability by providing new meaning to their lives and lessening their emotional distress [74,77]. Furthermore, as the Islamic practice of the salah involves bodily movements, some studies have suggested that the salah could help with cerebral blood flow and postural reflexes [78,79].…”

Purpose: A stroke is a sudden event which may leave individuals and their families ill-prepared to deal with the resultant disability. Several contextual factors can influence the recovery process. These factors, internal and external, exist interactively in the lived experiences of the survivors. The limited availability of rehabilitation centres that are located in urban centres meant that recovery predominately occurred outside of the biomedical health and instead relied upon the resources available to individuals and their families. Methods: A qualitative approach with data from in-depth interviews and observations were used to identify contextual factors that shaped recovery following stroke in a community. Twenty-seven individuals with stroke were drawn from a health and demographic surveillance system in Malaysia. Results: Hope and optimism, coping strategies, motivation and support from family and friends, and the use of alternative and complementary medicine shaped the process of recovery within a context where infrastructure is extremely limited. Conclusion: The identification of factors that facilitate the recovery process provides a background in which health care providers can utilise to improve their understanding of the stroke experience. Such understanding could be instrumental in aiding health professionals to offer the most effective help to their clients. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONIdentification of contextual factors provides a background for the understanding of the stroke experience. Incorporation of religion into rehabilitation could support and maintain hope in recovery for the survivors and aid acceptance. A collaboration of healthcare professionals with traditional medicine therapists may prove beneficial for the rehabilitation of stroke survivors in Malaysia. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Ibrahim et al 6) also evaluated the EMG activities of the lower limb muscles (biceps and rectus femoris, grastrocnemius and lumbar spine) in the different Salat positions and found that all the muscles were activated during Salat's movements. Mohd Safee et al 4) had compared the activities of the human lower limb muscles between Salat and specific exercises and found that Salat is useful for rehabilitation programs. An investigation of body composition resulting during the performance of Salat taraweeh (a special prayer performed by the Muslims only during Ramadhan, the fasting month of the Muslim calendar) showed that it offers benefits to overall human health 14) .…”

Biomechanical Response of the Upper Body during Prostration in <i>Salat</i> and the Child’s Pose: a Preliminary Study

Abstract. [Purpose] Salat is the prayer practiced by Muslims and it involves several physical motions, namely standing, bowing and prostrating, which can be considered as a form of slow moderate exercise. The purpose of this research was to investigate the activities of the upper body muscles and the body composition during Salat's prostration and the child's pose.[Subjects] Eight healthy male and female university students were recruited for this study.[Methods] The body composition of each subject was first measured. The subjects were then asked to perform Salat's prostration motion followed by the child's pose posture. Electromyographic (EMG) signals were recorded from the biceps brachii, triceps brachii, scapula muscle, and pectoralis major muscles. The signals were converted to root mean square values. The Mann-Whitney U non-parametric test was conducted to investigate the significance of differences in EMG mean values and body composition in both postures.[Results] The findings show that all the muscles were activated in both postures with the triceps brachii recording the highest value. For the triceps brachii, the prostration posture gave higher values. However, no significant difference was found in the body composition.[Conclusion] The prostration posture produces musculoskeletal effects similar to the child's pose.
