Muscle energy techniques are used to treat somatic dysfunction, especially decreased range of motion, muscular hypertonicity, and pain. Historically, the concept emerged as a form of osteopathic manipulative diagnosis and treatment in which the patient's muscles are actively used on request, from a precisely controlled position, in a specific ...
Development of the work loop technique has revealed various functional roles for muscle by simulating more realistic kinematics and activation. As a “motor”, the muscle does work on the environment, resulting in a counter-clockwise, positive work loop. When positive work happens the length of the muscle will increase followed by an increase ...
A fasciculation potential is an involuntary activation of a motor unit within the muscle, sometimes visible with the naked eye as a muscle twitch or by surface electrodes. Fibrillations, however, are detected only by needle EMG, and represent the isolated activation of individual muscle fibers, usually as the result of nerve or muscle disease.
Muscle coactivation is measured using a technique called electromyography(EMG). [1] This is performed by using surface EMG that responds to electrical activity of the muscle through the skin. [ 8 ] Electrical activity is only present in the muscle when the muscle voluntarily contracts. [ 9 ]
“It doesn’t really identify a singular muscle on its own, it wants it to move as a system.” He gives the example of a choir: With one singer the music is nice, but as a whole it’s loud and ...
