Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : This study aimed to investigate the use of electromyography (EMG) to evaluate upper limb movement or function in stroke patients.
Methods : We reviewed papers published in journals between January 2018 and December 2021 using PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, RISS, and KISS. The main keywords of databases were (‘stroke’ OR ‘hemiplegia’) AND (‘EMG’ OR ‘electromyography’ OR ‘electromyogram’ OR ‘muscle activity’) AND (‘Upper limb’ OR ‘Hand’).
Results : Fifteen studies were selected, most of which evaluated muscle activity. Interventions performing tasks related to activities of daily living (ADLs), using assistive technology, and interventions that provide repetitive training were most frequently applied.
Conclusions : When evaluating upper limb functions using electromyography, it is meaningful to present an evaluation that can be used according to the purpose of the study and to provide a basis for setting up interventions that can utilize electromyography during evaluation.
