Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 2 A typical case comparison between a maximum voluntary contraction and involuntary contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle assessed via surface electromyogram. (A) Three 5–10 s dorsiflexion maximum voluntary contractions. (B) Three 5–10 s intervals of electrical stimulation set at 50 V. Both panels having a 5–10 s relaxation period between contractions.

Ankles, ankle strength; kg, kilograms; GNMe, gastrocnemius muscle endurance; iEMG, integrated electromyography unit; MFS, Morse Fall Risk Scale. (A) Comparison of Ankles, and (B) GNMe within and between groups at 3 days from baseline. (C) Comparison of GNMe within and between groups at 9 days from baseline. (D) Comparison of MFS within and between groups at the time of intensive care unit (ICU) discharge (18.00 ± 10.19 days) from baseline; severity is proportional to high score. P-value and Cohen’s d effect size are noted from time group interaction at each determined time point.

Article Title: Neuromuscular Compensation Strategies Adopted at the Shoulder Following Bilateral Subpectoral Implant Breast Reconstruction

doi: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2021.110348

Figure Lengend Snippet: Surface electromyography data were obtained from sixteen shoulder muscles while participants generated eight 3D isometric shoulder torques in five two-dimensional arm postures bilaterally. On the dominant arm, only upper trapezius activity differed between the groups (A). On the non-dominant arm, the sternocostal fiber region of the PM and upper trapezius activity differed between the groups (B). Bars represent mean ± standard error. Significant differences are visualized by colored bars and * signifies a significant group difference at p < 0.05.

Article Snippet: Data Analyses Surface electromyography data were analyzed in MATLAB 2017a (Mathworks Inc, Natick, MA).
