Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to offer physical therapy practitioners theoretical knowledge and methodological foundations needed to use electromyography to detect and assess shortcomings of development and abnormal functioning of the spine in young school-age children.The study begins by presenting the incidence of spine deficiencies among school-age children, supported by objective data derived from our research. We then present a synthesis of the striated muscle structure, its contraction mechanism and studies on the normal and the pathological state of skeletal muscles associated with the spine.In the context of modern methods for spine research, the usefulness of electromyography is highlighted and a synthesis of the following aspects is presented: applications approved for clinical neurophysiology, electromyography as a method of investigation in kinesiology, qualities and diagnostic value of EMG, clinical applications. Details of normal and abnormal results and the EMG recording BIOPAC system are also presented.
