Kinematic and EMG characteristics of simple shoulder movements with proprioception and visual feedback

Position accuracy and electromyographic responses during head reposition in young adults with chronic neck pain

“…However, it has been argued that the examination should be functional and be conducted under normal movement conditions (Newcomer et al, 2000). Some studies also took the eye-opened condition as standard procedure (Brindle et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2005). Thirdly, there were no significant difference of the cervical ROM between the healthy and the neck pain subjects.…”

Biomechanical assessments of the effect of visual feedback on cycling for patients with stroke

“…Furthermore, it is not uncommon to study the effects of visual feedback about the overall task performance using EMG as the outcome variable to represent neuromuscular control (Brindle et al, 2006;Kojovic et al, 2011), since improvement in task performance typically results from better neuromuscular control. For cycling, cadence is a straightforward indicator of cycling performance and thus can be easily comprehended for patients of various education and cognitive background.…”

Relationship between muscle coordination and forehand drive velocity in tennis

“…Concerning the activation level, either positive linear, quadratic, or lack of any relationship has been observed between activation level and movement velocity depending on the studied muscle (Neptune et al, 1997). When the velocity of movement increased, these relationships have been reported for the activation level of agonist and/or antagonist muscles during mono-and multi-joint upper limb movements performed at slow (Antony and Keir, 2010;Brindle et al, 2006;Marsden et al, 1983) and high velocities (Illyés and Kiss, 2005). These results seem to be applicable to tennis movements, but this needs to be demonstrated.…”
