Stimulated muscle force assessment of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in humans

Abstract: The aim of this study was to configure a force assessment device and determine potential testing protocols for quantitative evaluation of human neck muscles. The study design consisted of non-randomized control trials, with repeated measures; data from 12 normal subjects were obtained. Several apparatuses were designed, constructed and tested, i.e. single or short trains of supramaximal stimuli were used to activate sternocleidomastoid muscles in a seated position with strain gauges (6.2% variability with doub… Show more

“…For example, we have investigated other muscles, e.g. the arm flexors (by direct biceps muscle stimulation or musculocutaneous nerve stimulation) and sternocleidomastoid muscle; such protocols have shown reliable results in healthy volunteers (9, 26). It is of interest to note that there are reports of magnetic stimulation of phrenic nerves at the neck with simultaneous measurement of transdiaphragmatic or airway pressures (27), and this is regarded as a practical technique for assessing diaphragm function during ventilation.…”

“…Many studies have measured isometric neck mechanics,(Alricsson et al, 2001; Ashton-Miller et al, 1990; Conley et al, 1997; Garces et al, 2002; Jordan et al, 1999; O’Leary et al, 2005; Staudte and Duhr, 1994; Suryanarayana and Kumar, 2005; Vasavada et al, 2008; Vasavada et al, 2001) isotonic mechanics,(Ono and Kanno, 1996) and isokinetic mechanics (Hong et al, 2005; Portero et al, 2001; Seng et al, 2002) as well as correlating electromyography to identify adult neck muscle activation (Gabriel et al, 2004; Kumar et al, 2005; Kumar et al, 2003; Strimpakos et al, 2005; Tierney et al, 2005; Valkeinen et al, 2002; Vasavada et al, 2002). Adult neck muscle mechanics has been measured identifying directional maximal forces and moments generated by the neck (Chiu et al, 2002; Jaric, 2002; Kumar et al, 2001, 2003; Seng et al, 2002; Suryanarayana and Kumar, 2005; Valkeinen et al, 2002; Vasavada et al, 2001) as well as endurance characteristics (Gosselin et al, 2004; Harris et al, 2005; Lee et al, 2005; Schieppati et al, 2003; Schulte et al, 2006).…”

“…Adams et al (1993) reported changes in MRI-T2 relaxation times with muscle activity caused by electrical stimulation and suggest stimulation of individual muscles can be performed. Experiments to assess the kinetic and/or kinematic outputs of individual muscles using electrical stimulation have been conducted on tibialis anterior (Magnaris, 2001; Giacomozzi et al, 2003; Orizio et al, 2006), biceps (Hong and Iaizzo, 2002) and sternomastoid (Hong et al, 2005). However, electrical stimulation has not been used to focus on ankle plantarflexors.…”
