Mehryar, P., Shourijeh, M.S., Rezaeian, T. et al. (5 more authors) (2021) Muscular activity comparison between non-amputees and transfemoral amputees during normal transient-state walking speed. Medical Engineering & Physics, 95. pp. 39-44. ISSN 1350-4533
Abstract
Research question: Would there be differences in muscle activation between healthy subjects’ (HS) dominant leg and transfemoral amputees’ (TFA) intact-leg/contralateral-limb (IL) during normal transient-state walking speed?
Methods: The muscle activation patterns are obtained by calculating the linear envelope of the EMG signals for each group. The activation patterns/temporal changes are compared between-population using statistical parametric mapping (SPM).
Results: Individual muscle activity showed significant differences in all muscles except vastus lateralis (VL), semitendinosus (SEM) and tensor fascia latae (TFL) activities.
Significance: The information could be used by the therapists to prevent secondary physical conditions and prosthetic companies to improve the mobility of the amputees.
