“…According to literature, sEMG metrics are both objective and convenient, and can provide more neuromuscular control information about motor dysfunction. For this reason, which was confirmed in this literature review, sEMG is a useful technique to evaluate therapies in post-stroke patients and in hemiplegic cerebral palsy children [24,25,26,39,41].…”

“…One area showing the versatility of sEMG in rehabilitation and physiotherapy is urogenital system dysfunction associated with urinary incontinence, which affects both women and men [10,21,22,23,24,25,39]. Surface EMG can evaluate stress urinary incontinence treatment outcomes by recording the change in voltage over the muscle fibre membrane that initiates the contraction.…”

Introduction: Technological developments in surface electromyography (sEMG) equipment are providing more and more new opportunities in the application of this technique in different fields, not just in clinical medicine but also in physiotherapy.The purpose of this study is an educational review that provides examples of the clinical use of sEMG in rehabilitation and physiotherapy.Materials and methods: Studies were searched for on the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases using the following descriptors: “sEMG rehabilitation”, “sEMG physiotherapy”, “surface electromyography physiotherapy”, “surface electromyography rehabilitation”, resulting in 28,040 citations in total. After reviewing for inclusion criteria – methodological quality assessment using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale and consistency with the theme of systematic review – 28,023 studies were removed from the analysis.Results: The qualified 14 works were divided into 4 categories depending on the sEMG application area: urogenital system dysfunction (322 patients, PEDro scale average rating of 6.33), central nervous system damage (120 patients, PEDro scale average rating of 6.6), lower back pain (181 patients, PEDro scale average rating of 5.33) and musculoskeletal disorders (244 patients, PEDro scale average rating of 6.66).Conclusions: The most recent examples of the use of sEMG in intervention studies in rehabilitation and physiotherapy in the last 5 years concerned neurology, urology, gynaecology, paediatrics, pulmonary medicine and orthopaedics.

Transurethral dilation of the prostate (TUDP) with a spherical balloon catheter is a traditional treatment for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). TUDP, however, has been abandoned in clinical application because of its unsatisfying treatment benefit and severe complications. In this study, we redesigned an improved TUDP surgical procedure-transurethral split of the prostate (TUSP)-by replacing the spherical balloon with a columnar balloon. To evaluate the clinical therapeutic effect, we compared the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of patients with BPH after TUSP treatment and analyzed the urethra through CT films. Animal experiments were performed on aged dogs to investigate the urine function and electromyography (EMG) changes. Histopathology was used to evaluate the inflammation and injury. In addition, collagen content was detected by Trichrome Masson. TUSP attenuated LUTS and reconstructed the urethra in patients with BPH. The attenuation of LUTS was reflected in terms of LUTS parameters such as peak urine flow rate, postvoid residual urine volume, quality of life score, and International Prostate Symptom Score. TUSP expanded the urethra in experimental dogs by splitting the prostate tissues and decreasing the collagen content, with maintenance of normal urinary function and EMG characteristics. The successful clinical application of TUSP with significant therapeutic effect and limited complications made TUSP an ideal choice for the patients with BPH.

Quantitative EMG of external urethral sphincter in neurologically healthy men with prostate pathology

Abstract: This study provides quantitative EMG measures of EUS functionality in continent men with prostate pathology. The data could be used as reference values for patients undergoing prostate surgery to identify postoperative changes in EUS function possibly influencing continence.
