This study aimed to compare maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) values and muscle activity during MIP and MEP between chronic neck pain and healthy participants.[Participants and Methods] Twenty chronic neck pain and 20 non-symptomatic females participated in this study. Maximal airway pressure (MIP and MEP) and surface electromyography (sEMG) for both sides of the upper trapezius, anterior scalene, pectoralis major and 6th intercostal muscles were recorded simultaneously. [Results] Significant differences of MIP and MEP values were found between the groups. The muscle activities of both sides of upper trapezius and 6th intercostal muscles during MEP were significantly higher in the chronic neck pain group than the healthy group except both sides of anterior scalene and pectoralis major muscles. During MIP, the activities of upper trapezius, 6th intercostal muscles and anterior scalene were significantly different between the two studied groups. Higher activity of left pectoralis major was found in the chronic neck pain group. [Conclusion] Decreasing values of MEP and MIP as well as muscles activities elevation in chronic neck pain participants were clearly demonstrated. Besides the musculoskeletal treatment, we suggest breathing exercise training to be considered in treatment programs.

“…22 Several reviews had attempted to show how surface electromyography (sEMG) could be utilized to show muscle activity in the intercostals area. [24][25][26] These sEMG findings revealed that intercostals generally becomes more active when breathing against resistance. 24 Ultrasound study had also shown that the sternocleidomastoid will be thicker in FHP due to prolonged tonic contraction, practically this is the only cervical muscle group which This alteration would then surely modify the length-tension relationship of the intercostal muscles, resulting in a further positioned ribs, and thus reduces the thoracic mobility.…”

Introduction: Forward head posture (FHP) is a very common problem among the working population. Being one of the most subconscious function in humans, respiratory function utilizes both the diaphragmand external intercostal muscles for quiet breathing. However during labored breathing, many other muscles will be recruited, and mostly these muscles have attachments in the cervical, thoracic ribcage,and even lumbar vertebrae. By the nature of attachments of these muscles on the cervical vertebra and thoracic cage, it is then plausible that FHP would affect the respiratory function. Methods: Thorough searches were done through international journals for the last ten years regarding the topic of FHP and its impacts to the respiratory biomechanics. Discussion: Previous studies have reported how prolonged FHP will result in kyphotic posture, reducing the mobility of ribcage, and modifies all respiratory muscular attachments such as sternocleidomastoids, intercostals, and to a certain extent, the diaphragm. All these result in a restrictive lung disorder, signified by reducing spirometry values, such as Forced Vital Capacity, Sniff Nasal Inspiratory Pressure, and Peak Flow Rate. Conclusion: Forward head posture disturb the respiratory biomechanics.

“…The Surface electromyography (sEMG) signal is the sum of the action potentials generated by the active motor units and detected over the skin, the signal contains a wealth of information about muscle functions, and it is one of the basic processing techniques to detect muscle activity and provide the motion intentions of the user. Because of the significant advantages such as noninvasive, real-time, and multi-point measurement, sEMG has been widely used in medical [4,5], engineering studies [6,7], control of prosthesis [8], biomechanics and movement analysis [9][10][11], genomics and exoskeleton robot control. In recent years, the recording and analysis of sEMG signals provide important information to the field of limb joint force prediction [12,13], used as an feedback prediction controller of FES [3] and provide continuous real-time control signal for human musculoskeletal system.…”

Joint torque prediction plays an important role in quantitative limb rehabilitation assessment and exoskeleton robot, and it is essential to acquire feedback or feedforward signal for adaptive functional electrical stimulation (FES) control. The Surface electromyography (sEMG) signal is one of the basic processing techniques to detect muscle activity, and also one favorable technique to estimate joint torque. In order to predict joint torque in a wide range of real time convenient applications, it is necessary to fuse sEMG signals with other convenient physical sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, herein, we use a time delay artificial neural network to predict human joint force of ankle eversion and inversion based on sEMG and angular velocity signals. We testify our method on the data recorded from 8 subjects (5 healthy subjects and 3 patients) who are on isokinetic ankle eversion and inversion. The results show that the mean Cross-correlation coefficients (ρ) and the mean normalized root-mean-square deviation (NRMSE %) calculated between the prediction and the real value for isokinetic contraction is 0.966±0.019 and 7.9% ±0.026. Compared with artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector regression (SVR), the proposed method can predict the joint torque effectively. For the future application, the method has the potential to be employed to predict the ankle moments in real-time application for quantitative lower limb rehabilitation assessment and exoskeleton robot control.
