Handling technique based on electromyographic research

Abstract

In rehabilitation, progress in the order of passive, automatic assistance, automatic, and resistance exercises is common. Automatic assistance exercise occupies an important position as preparation for automatic exercise acquisition, but it is easily influenced by the experience and skill of the therapist. Therefore, in this study, we focused on the automatic assistance movement necessary for the handling technique of the upper extremity. The relationship between the amount of upper limb assistance and shoulder muscle activity and the muscle activity pattern between automatic and automatic assistance exercises were examined. The points in the handling technique of the upper limb are described.
