Electromyogram Response Latency in Transtibial Amputees During Perturbations

DESCRIPTION

This study investigates electromyogram (EMG) response latency across various muscles in transtibial amputees (TTA) and control groups under perturbation conditions. It compares latencies of muscles including tibialis anterior (TA), medial gastrocnemius (GM), vastus lateralis (VL), and biceps femoris (BF), analyzing the effects of limb condition (intact vs. prosthetic) and perturbation direction (up vs. down). Insights from this research contribute to understanding balance mechanisms in individuals with unilateral transtibial prostheses, aiding rehabilitation practices.
