The study investigated the effects of unilateral and bilateral lower extremity fatigue on both postural stability and postural adjustments. Fourteen young male subjects performed unilateral and bilateral dynamic lower extremity pedaling exercises with 5 sets of 20 times at 50 % maximum voluntary contraction. Center of pressure (COP) signals were recorded before and after the fatigue exercise. Electromyography activities of six trunk and leg muscles were recorded and analyzed during the anticipatory (APAs) and compensatory (CPAs) postural adjustments. The results showed that both fatiguing exercises caused an increase in COP and larger APAs and CPAs in the rectus femoris and tibialis anterior during externally initiated perturbation. However, the observed indicators showed no clear difference between unilateral and bilateral fatigue. These results validated that when enlarged APAs were not sufficient to resist the external perturbation, the central nervous system increased the strength of CPAs to maintain the stability of the body. These findings provided a perspective on the association between APAs and CPAs, which may apply to the athletic training or rehabilitation on postural control.

该研究调查了单侧和双侧下肢疲劳对姿势稳定性和姿势调整的影响。14 名年轻男性受试者分别进行了单侧和双侧动态下肢蹬踏练习,以 50% 的最大自主收缩进行了 5 组 20 次的练习。疲劳练习前后记录了压力中心(COP)信号。在预期(APAs)和补偿(CPAs)姿势调整期间,记录并分析了六块躯干和腿部肌肉的肌电图活动。结果表明,两种疲劳运动都会导致 COP 增加,并且在外部启动的扰动过程中,股直肌和胫骨前肌的 APA 和 CPA 会增大。然而,观察到的指标显示,单侧和双侧疲劳没有明显差异。这些结果验证了当增大的APA不足以抵抗外部扰动时,中枢神经系统会增加CPA的强度以保持身体的稳定。这些发现为 APA 与 CPA 之间的关联提供了一个视角,可应用于姿势控制方面的运动训练或康复。

Background

To better personalize treatment and monitor recovery of individuals with low back pain, objective tests of sensorimotor functions, such as lumbar proprioception, must be selected based on their reliability and validity. The primary objective of this study was to test the concurrent validity of three measures of lumbar proprioception.

Methods

Thirty-one participants performed three lumbar proprioception tests (motion perception threshold, active and passive joint positioning sense), a whole-body mobility and balance (time up-and-go) and two trunk-specific postural control (threshold of stability and sensor-based sway measures) tests.

Results

Only the motion perception threshold proprioception test showed some validity, correlating with the trunk-specific postural control tests [r range (positive values): 0.37 to 0.60]. The three lumbar proprioception measures were not correlated to each other. The threshold of stability measure was correlated with the time up-and-go (r = 0.37) and trunk-specific (sensor-based sway measures) postural control [r range (positive values): 0.48 to 0.77] tests.

Conclusion

The present study generated three original findings. Only the motion perception threshold proprioception test demonstrated its concurrent validity. In fact, the three lumbar proprioception tests performed in the present study were not correlated to each other, thus assessing different constructs. Finally, the threshold of stability protocol was validated against other tests. These findings will help in selecting the most appropriate lumbar proprioception measures to study the effects of exercise treatments in patients with back pain.

背景为了更好地对腰痛患者进行个性化治疗并监测其康复情况,必须根据腰部本体感觉等感觉运动功能的可靠性和有效性来选择客观测试。本研究的主要目的是测试腰部本体感觉的三种测量方法的并发有效性。方法31名参与者进行了三种腰部本体感觉测试(运动感知阈值、主动和被动关节定位感)、一种全身移动性和平衡性测试(向上走动时间)以及两种躯干特定姿势控制测试(稳定性阈值和基于传感器的摇摆测量)。结果只有运动感知阈值本体感觉测试显示出一定的有效性,与躯干特定姿势控制测试相关[r 范围(正值):0.37 至 0.60]。三种腰部本体感觉测量结果互不相关。稳定性阈值测量与时间上行-下行(r = 0.37)和躯干特定(基于传感器的摇摆测量)姿势控制测试[r 范围(正值):0.48 至 0.77]相关。只有运动感知阈值本体感觉测试证明了其并发有效性。事实上,本研究中进行的三种腰部本体感觉测试互不相关,因此评估的是不同的结构。最后,稳定性阈值方案与其他测试进行了验证。这些发现将有助于选择最合适的腰部本体感觉测量方法,以研究腰痛患者的运动治疗效果。

Objectives

People with low back pain (LBP) exhibit altered coordination, possibly indicating guarded movement. The connection between these changes and pain-related threat remains unclear. We aimed to determine if pain-related threat was related to spinal coordination and variability, during a lifting task, in people with chronic LBP.

Methods

Participants were adults with chronic LBP (n = 47). Upper lumbar, lower lumbar, and hip kinematics were measured during 10 crate lifting/lowering repetitions. Coordination and variability of the Hip-Lower Lumbar, and Lower Lumbar-Upper Lumbar joint pairs were calculated. Pain-related threat was measured using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and task-specific fear. Linear regression analyses tested the relationship between pain-related threat and coordination.

Results

Adding catastrophizing to our base model (sex) explained variance in Hip-Lower lumbar coordination (r2 change = 0.125, p = 0.013). General and task specific measures of fear were unrelated to coordination and variability at both joint pairs (r2 change < 0.064, p > 0.05). Exploratory t-tests revealed subgroups aligned with phenotypes of “tight” and “loose” control, where “tight” control was characterized by greater catastrophizing and disability.

Conclusion

Pain catastrophizing, but not measures of fear, was related to more in-phase (“tight”) Hip-Lower Lumbar coordination during lifting/lowering. Considering this relationship based on subgroups may add clarity.

目的腰背痛(LBP)患者表现出协调性的改变,这可能表明他们在运动时有所防备。这些变化与疼痛相关威胁之间的联系仍不清楚。我们旨在确定慢性腰背痛患者在举重任务中,疼痛相关威胁是否与脊柱协调性和可变性有关。在重复 10 次抬起/放下箱子的过程中,对上腰椎、下腰椎和髋关节运动学进行了测量。计算了髋关节-下腰椎和下腰椎-上腰椎关节对的协调性和变异性。与疼痛相关的威胁使用坦帕运动恐惧量表、疼痛灾难化量表和任务特异性恐惧进行测量。线性回归分析测试了疼痛相关威胁与协调性之间的关系。结果 在基础模型(性别)中加入灾难化,可以解释髋-下腰椎协调性的差异(r2 变化 = 0.125,p = 0.013)。一般和特定任务的恐惧测量与两个关节对的协调性和变异性无关(r2 变化为 0.064,p 为 0.05)。探索性 t 检验显示,亚组与 "紧密 "和 "松散 "控制的表型一致,其中 "紧密 "控制的特点是灾难化和残疾程度更高。根据亚组来考虑这种关系可能会更加清晰。

For the purpose of testing shoulder joint proprioception while controlling for axioscapular muscle recruitment, a novel shoulder thoracohumeral (TH) rotation joint position sense (JPS) measurement device was designed. This device was intended to measure shoulder TH rotation, while also implicitly constraining other upper limb degrees of freedom (DOF) and minimizing cutaneous sensation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether joint motion aside from shoulder TH rotation is being captured by the shoulder JPS measurement device. Upper limb kinematics were collected from 32 participants during joint angle matching trials using the shoulder JPS measurement device. Step wise multiple regression revealed that shoulder TH rotation (β-Humeral Rotation = 0.409, p < 0.001), and wrist deviation (β-Wrist Deviation = 0.104, p = 0.008) both contributed a significant unique variance in the prediction of shoulder JPS measurement device rotation. Findings suggest that seated, unconstrained shoulder TH rotation JPS testing protocols in literature may be confounded by contributions from joints both proximal and distal to the shoulder. Researchers should be aware of the limitations of both constrained and unconstrained shoulder TH rotation JPS testing protocols.

为了测试肩关节本体感觉,同时控制轴胛骨肌肉募集,我们设计了一种新型肩部胸肱骨(TH)旋转关节位置感(JPS)测量装置。该装置旨在测量肩部胸肱骨(TH)旋转,同时隐含地限制其他上肢自由度(DOF),并最大限度地减少皮肤感觉。本研究的目的是确定肩关节 JPS 测量装置是否能捕捉到肩关节 TH 旋转以外的关节运动。在使用肩关节 JPS 测量设备进行关节角度匹配试验时,收集了 32 名参与者的上肢运动学数据。分步多元回归显示,肩部 TH 旋转(β-肱骨旋转 = 0.409,p < 0.001)和腕关节偏差(β-腕关节偏差 = 0.104,p = 0.008)在预测肩关节 JPS 测量装置旋转方面都有显著的独特差异。研究结果表明,文献中的坐姿、无约束肩关节TH旋转JPS测试方案可能会受到肩关节近端和远端关节的影响。研究人员应了解约束和非约束肩关节TH旋转JPS测试方案的局限性。

Background

Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability, which is exacerbated in some by repeated lifting. Electromyography (EMG) assessments of isolated erector spinae (ES) regions during lifting identified conflicting results. Here, high-density EMG comprehensively assesses the lumbar and thoracolumbar ES activity in people with and without LBP performing a multiplanar lifting task.

Methods

Four high-density EMG grids (two bilaterally) and reflective markers were affixed over the ES and trunk to record muscle activity and trunk kinematics respectively. The task involved cyclical lifting of a 5 kg box for ∼7 min from a central shelf to five peripheral shelves, returning to the first between movements, while monitoring perceived exertion.

Results

Fourteen LBP (26.9 ± 11.1 years) and 15 control participants (32.1 ± 14.6 years) completed the study. LBP participants used a strategy characterised by less diffuse and more cranially-focussed ES activity (P < 0.05). LBP participants also exhibited less variation in ES activity distribution between sides during movements distal to the central shelf (P < 0.05). There were few consistent differences in kinematics, but LBP participants reported greater exertion (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

In the presence of mild LBP, participants used a less variable motor strategy, with less diffuse and more cranially-focussed ES activity; this motor strategy occurred concomitantly with increased exertion while completing this dynamic task.

背景 慢性腰背痛(LBP)是导致残疾的一个主要原因,其中一些人的腰背痛会因反复提举而加剧。对抬举过程中孤立的竖脊肌(ES)区域进行肌电图(EMG)评估发现了相互矛盾的结果。方法将四个高密度肌电图网格(双侧各两个)和反射标记贴在 ES 和躯干上,分别记录肌肉活动和躯干运动学。任务包括在 7 分钟内将一个 5 千克重的箱子从一个中央架子循环举到五个外围架子,在两次动作之间返回到第一个架子,同时监测感知用力情况。结果14 名枸杞多糖症参与者(26.9 ± 11.1 岁)和 15 名对照组参与者(32.1 ± 14.6 岁)完成了研究。枸杞多糖症参与者使用的策略的特点是,ES 活动的扩散性较小,而头颅集中性较强(P < 0.05)。枸杞多糖症参与者在向中央架远端运动时,两侧ES活动分布的差异也较小(P <0.05)。结论 在轻度腰背痛的情况下,参与者使用的运动策略变化较少,ES 活动的弥散性较低,而头颅集中性较高;在完成这项动态任务时,这种运动策略会随着运动量的增加而出现。

Assessment of stabilizing feedback control of walking: A tutorial 评估行走的稳定反馈控制:教程。

Walking without falling requires stabilization of the trajectory of the body center of mass relative to the base of support. Model studies suggest that this requires active, feedback control, i.e., the nervous system must process sensory information on the state of the body to generate descending motor commands to the muscles to stabilize walking, especially in the mediolateral direction. Stabilization of bipedal gait is challenging and can be impaired in older and diseased individuals. In this tutorial, we illustrate how gait analysis can be used to assess the stabilizing feedback control of gait. We present methods ranging from those that require limited input data (e.g. position data of markers placed on the feet and pelvis only) to those that require full-body kinematics and electromyography. Analyses range from simple kinematics analyses to inverse dynamics. These methods assess stabilizing feedback control of human walking at three levels: 1) the level of center of mass movement and horizontal ground reaction forces, 2) the level of center of mass movement and foot placement and 3) the level of center of mass movement and the joint moments or muscle activity. We show how these can be calculated and provide a GitHub repository (https://github.com/VU-HMS/Tutorial-stabilizing-walking) which contains open access Matlab and Python code to calculate these. Finally, we discuss what information on feedback control can be learned from each of these.

要想在行走时不摔倒,就必须稳定身体质心相对于支撑基座的轨迹。模型研究表明,这需要主动的反馈控制,即神经系统必须处理有关身体状态的感官信息,以便向肌肉发出下行运动指令,从而稳定行走,尤其是在内侧方向。双足步态的稳定具有挑战性,老年人和患病者的双足步态稳定可能会受损。在本教程中,我们将说明如何利用步态分析来评估步态的稳定反馈控制。我们介绍的方法既有需要有限输入数据的方法(例如仅在脚部和骨盆上放置标记的位置数据),也有需要全身运动学和肌电图的方法。分析范围从简单的运动学分析到逆动力学分析。这些方法从三个层面对人类行走的稳定反馈控制进行评估:1)质心运动水平和水平地面反作用力;2)质心运动水平和脚的位置;3)质心运动水平和关节力矩或肌肉活动。我们展示了如何计算这些信息,并提供了一个 GitHub 存储库 (https://github.com/VU-HMS/Tutorial-stabilizing-walking),其中包含用于计算这些信息的开放式 Matlab 和 Python 代码。最后,我们将讨论从这些信息中可以了解到哪些反馈控制信息。

Model studies suggest that this requires active, feedback control, i.e., the nervous system must process sensory information on the state of the body to generate descending motor commands to the muscles to stabilize walking, especially in the mediolateral direction. Stabilization of bipedal gait is challenging and can be impaired in older and diseased individuals. In this tutorial, we illustrate how gait analysis can be used to assess the stabilizing feedback control of gait. We present methods ranging from those that require limited input data (e.g. position data of markers placed on the feet and pelvis only) to those that require full-body kinematics and electromyography. Analyses range from simple kinematics analyses to inverse dynamics. These methods assess stabilizing feedback control of human walking at three levels: 1) the level of center of mass movement and horizontal ground reaction forces, 2) the level of center of mass movement and foot placement and 3) the level of center of mass movement and the joint moments or muscle activity. We show how these can be calculated and provide a GitHub repository (<span>https://github.com/VU-HMS/Tutorial-stabilizing-walking</span><svg><path></path></svg>) which contains open access Matlab and Python code to calculate these.

This study aimed to develop an insertion technique for intramuscular EMG recording of the oblique head of adductor hallucis (AddH) and first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscles in humans via the dorsum of the foot, and report feasibility of intramuscular EMG data acquisition during walking in shoes. In eight individuals without musculoskeletal pain or injury (5 males; 32 ± 8 years), intramuscular electrodes were inserted into AddH (oblique head) and FDI through the right foot’s dorsum (between metatarsals I-II) with ultrasound guidance. The ultrasound transducer was positioned on the plantar surface. Intramuscular EMG was also recorded from abductor hallucis, tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus and peroneus longus. Participants performed six overground walking trials wearing modified shoes, and rated pain associated with the intramuscular electrodes during walking (numerical rating scale, 0–10). High-quality EMG recordings were obtained from intrinsic and extrinsic foot muscles. Analyses of power spectral densities indicated that movement artefacts commonly observed during gait were removed by filtering. Pain associated with AddH/FDI electrodes during walking was low (median[IQR] 1[2]; range 0–4) and similar to other sites. Findings demonstrate that intramuscular EMG recording from AddH (oblique head) and FDI using this insertion technique is feasible and associated with minimal pain when walking in shoes.

本研究旨在开发一种通过脚背对人体的内收肌斜头(AddH)和第一背侧骨间肌(FDI)进行肌内肌电图记录的插入技术,并报告在穿鞋行走时采集肌内肌电图数据的可行性。在超声波引导下,通过右脚脚背(跖骨 I-II 之间)将肌内电极插入 AddH(斜头)和 FDI(第一背骨间肌),8 人无肌肉骨骼疼痛或受伤(5 名男性;32 ± 8 岁)。超声波传感器位于足底表面。此外,还记录了拇外肌、胫骨后肌、趾长屈肌和腓长肌的肌内肌电图。参与者穿着改良鞋进行了六次地面行走试验,并对行走过程中与肌内电极相关的疼痛进行评分(数字评分表,0-10)。从足部内在和外在肌肉获得了高质量的肌电图记录。对功率谱密度的分析表明,步态过程中常见的运动伪影已通过滤波去除。行走时与 AddH/FDI 电极相关的疼痛较低(中位数[IQR] 1[2];范围 0-4),与其他部位相似。研究结果表明,使用这种插入技术从 AddH(斜头)和 FDI 进行肌肉内 EMG 记录是可行的,并且在穿鞋行走时疼痛极小。

The electromyography (EMG) signal provides insight into neuromuscular activity which is used in medical and technological fields. Traditional needle electrodes and surface electrodes have several drawbacks making them less suitable for portable and long-term use. In contrast, emerging capacitive electrodes offer promising features over the existing electrodes. Yet, the full potential of capacitive electrodes remains untapped due to the lack of comprehensive design optimization for consistently reliable signal quality. This study highlights the complex interplay of factors influencing correlation in capacitive EMG (cEMG) and wet surface EMG (wet sEMG) signals. The study emphasizes the importance of the surface area of capacitive electrodes, muscle force, preprocessing, and sampling frequency in understanding and improving the correlation between cEMG and wet sEMG signals, providing valuable insights for future research and applications in the field. The study reveals that the electrode area has no significant effect on the correlation. However, the correlation significantly depends on the muscle force. In addition, removing artifacts from the cEMG signal increases the correlation, especially for lower force where artifacts are significant. Again, oversampling the EMG signal above 800 Hz does not have any impact on increasing the correlation but the correlation decreases with higher inter-electrode distance (IED). In this research, the highest correlation of 82.89% (normalized-91.62%) between cEMG and sEMG has been achieved for high muscle force with a plate area of 4 cm2. Therefore, the capacitive electrode can be an alternative for EMG signal acquisition.

肌电图(EMG)信号可提供神经肌肉活动的信息,可用于医疗和技术领域。传统的针式电极和表面电极有几个缺点,不适合便携和长期使用。相比之下,新兴的电容式电极与现有电极相比具有更多优势。然而,由于缺乏全面的设计优化,电容式电极的潜力仍未得到充分挖掘,从而无法获得稳定可靠的信号质量。本研究强调了影响电容式肌电图(cEMG)和湿表面肌电图(wet sEMG)信号相关性的各种因素之间复杂的相互作用。研究强调了电容电极表面积、肌肉力量、预处理和采样频率对理解和改善 cEMG 和湿表面 EMG 信号相关性的重要性,为该领域的未来研究和应用提供了宝贵的见解。研究表明,电极面积对相关性没有显著影响。但是,相关性明显取决于肌肉力量。此外,去除 cEMG 信号中的伪影可提高相关性,尤其是在伪影明显的低肌力情况下。同样,对高于 800 Hz 的肌电信号进行超采样对提高相关性没有任何影响,但相关性会随着电极间距(IED)的增加而降低。在本研究中,当平板面积为 4 平方厘米时,高肌力时 cEMG 与 sEMG 的相关性最高,达到 82.89%(归一化为 91.62%)。因此,电容电极可作为 EMG 信号采集的替代方法。

The neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia is a prevalent functional swallowing disorder resulting from neurological causes. The conventional diagnosis involves ionizing radiation in Videofluoroscopy Swallowing Studies (VFSS). Surface electromyography (sEMG) offers a non-invasive alternative by recording muscle activity. This research compares bolus passage timing through anatomical structures using VFSS and sEMG-related activation times. Fifty confirmed oropharyngeal dysphagia patients underwent synchronized VFSS and sEMG, evaluating muscle groups during cracker and fluid ingestion. sEMG revealed activation patterns in masseters, suprahyoid, and infrahyoid muscles, occurring before bolus passage through the mandibular line and concluding near the upper esophageal sphincter complex. sEMG identified differences in dysphagia severity (EAT-10 score), age, and diagnosis, contrasting VFSS results. Results indicate potential complementarity between sEMG and VFSS for dysphagia screening, diagnosis, and monitoring.

神经源性口咽吞咽困难是一种普遍存在的由神经原因引起的功能性吞咽障碍。传统的诊断方法是利用电离辐射进行视频荧光吞咽检查(VFSS)。表面肌电图(sEMG)通过记录肌肉活动提供了一种无创的替代方法。这项研究使用 VFSS 和 sEMG 相关激活时间比较了栓剂通过解剖结构的时间。50 名确诊为口咽吞咽困难的患者接受了同步 VFSS 和 sEMG 检查,评估了摄入饼干和液体时的肌肉群。sEMG 显示了肌肉群、舌骨上肌和舌骨下肌的激活模式,发生在栓子通过下颌线之前,在食管上括约肌复合体附近结束。结果表明,sEMG 和 VFSS 在吞咽困难筛查、诊断和监测方面具有潜在的互补性。

We explore the effect of stress-recovery schedule on the cumulative creep response of lumbar tissues. Twelve participants performed a 48-minute protocol that consisted of 12 min of full trunk flexion and 36 min of upright standing. Two stress-recovery (work-rest) schedules were considered: a) three minutes of full trunk flexion followed by twelve minutes of upright standing (3:12), and b) one minute of full trunk flexion followed by four minutes of upright standing (1:4). Lumbar kinematics and EMG activity of erector spinae muscles were collected. Cumulative creep deformation was explored by considering the changes in peak lumbar flexion angles during full flexion and changes in the angles of flexion-relaxation (EMG-off) of the lumbar extensor musculature after the 48-minute protocol. The results of time-dependent lumbar flexion angle during full flexion revealed a noticeable creep response in both work-rest schedules, but the cumulative creep response was significantly greater in the 3:12 schedule (Δ3.5°) than in the 1:4 schedule (Δ1.6°). Similarly, the change in the EMG-off lumbar flexion angle in the 3:12 schedule was significantly greater than in the 1:4 schedule (Δ2.5° vs −Δ0.2°, respectively). These results indicate that the passive lumbar tissues recover their force producing capability more rapidly with shorter cycle times.

我们探讨了压力-恢复时间表对腰部组织累积蠕变反应的影响。12 名参与者进行了 48 分钟的训练,其中包括 12 分钟的躯干完全屈曲和 36 分钟的直立站立。试验采用了两种压力恢复(工作-休息)时间表:a)躯干完全屈曲 3 分钟,然后直立站立 12 分钟(3:12);b)躯干完全屈曲 1 分钟,然后直立站立 4 分钟(1:4)。收集了腰椎运动学数据和竖脊肌的肌电图活动。通过考虑完全屈曲时腰部屈曲角度峰值的变化和 48 分钟方案后腰部伸肌屈曲-放松(EMG-关闭)角度的变化,探讨了累积性蠕变变形。完全屈曲时腰部屈曲角度随时间变化的结果显示,两种工作-休息计划都有明显的蠕动反应,但 3:12 计划中的累积蠕动反应(Δ3.5°)明显大于 1:4 计划中的累积蠕动反应(Δ1.6°)。同样,在 3:12 计划中,EMG-关闭腰屈角度的变化也明显大于 1:4 计划(分别为 Δ2.5° 与 -Δ0.2°)。这些结果表明,在较短的周期时间内,被动腰部组织能更快地恢复其产生力量的能力。
