Risk of falling: an electromyographic analysis

A study was performed to investigate the changes that occur in the parameters of the electrically evoked surface myoelectric signals (EMGs) on patients with balance disorders due to alterations in muscular control, when clinically treated by means of manipulation and infiltrations. Previous works put into evidence the effects of the specific treatment technique on postural stability by means of posturographic and 3D measures. In association with such functional alterations, differences in myoelectric signals have been observed, thus yielding a better picture of the clinical method.
