Technological development of motion and posture analyses is rapidly progressing,
especially in rehabilitation settings and sport biomechanics. Consequently, clear …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) has been the subject of thousands of scientific articles,
but many barriers limit its clinical applications. Previous work has indicated that the lack of …

This article addresses the potential clinical value of techniques based on surface
electromyography (sEMG) in rehabilitation medicine with specific focus on …

Bioelectric signals provide an extraordinary opportunity to discover and quantify a wealth of
phenomena associated with the organs that generate them. In addition, they provide …

Background People poststroke often walk with a spatiotemporally asymmetric gait, due in
part to sensorimotor impairments in the paretic lower extremity. Although reducing …

Equinus (EFD) and equinovarus foot deviation (EVFD) are the most frequent lower limb
deformities in stroke survivors. The equinus component can be triggered by a combination of …

The brachioradialis muscle (BRD) is one of the main elbow flexors and is often assessed by
surface electromyography (sEMG) in physiology, clinical, sports, ergonomics, and …

Background Muscle overactivity is one of the positive signs of upper motor neuron lesions. In
these patients, the loss of muscle length and extensibility resulting from soft tissue …

Objective Equinus foot deformity (EFD) is the most common deformity following a stroke.
Several approaches have been suggested for its correction, including pharmacological …

Nowadays, a classification system for unilateral stiff-knee gait (SKG) kinematic severity in
hemiparetic adult patients after stroke does not exist. However, such classification would be …
