Assessment of Muscle Force Irradiation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Electromyography Evaluation of the Stabilizing Muscles of the Scapula and Tibial Anterior Muscle, After an Intervention Program by Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation in Muscle Force Irradiation.
The present study aims to assess through surface electromyography, the effectiveness of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation protocols in the activation of the stabilizing muscles of the scapula and the anterior tibial muscle.
Healthy subjects and subjects with demyelinating polyneuropathy are involved in the study.
Healthy patients are arranged in two groups of stimulation: FNP Group (intervention
proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) - CC Group (intervention classic cinesioterapia).
The electromyographic response of the stabilizing muscles of the scapula of each individual
will be assessed prior to application of the protocols, during the execution of the
protocols and immediately after stopping in a single session.
Patients with demyelinating polyneuropathy are arranged in a single treatment group and will
be treated at a frequency of twice a week for five weeks. In each session, the PNF patterns
will be repeated four times, on both sides, stimulating muscle irradiation and evoking the
contraction of the tibialis anterior muscle. During the repetition of the patterns, the
dorsiflexor muscle response of each patient will be obtained by an electromyography (EMG)
surface.
The data of the RMS values obtained in the first session will be normalized and transformed
into percentage. The average RMS of each diagonal at the beginning of treatment corresponds
to 100% of TA muscle activation. The RMS values obtained in the last session will be
normalized as a percentage, taking into account the results of the first evaluation. After
normalization, data from the first and last sessions will besubjected to the for paired
t-test.
