Evaluation of muscle tone by emg-feedback machine

ABSTRACT

Thirty children with mild, moderate, or severe cerebral palsy, and minimal cerebral dysfunction was examined by passive movement and by EMG feedback machine to evaluate muscle tone. Three evaluators conducted the passive movement test and recorded their results according to specific scale. Data recorded from the EMG feedback machine was by videotaping the digital display. There was no clear difference between both test results, this demonstrates that using EMG feedback machine as a clinical method to evaluate muscle tone disorder is realistic and valid
