Stroke is one of the main neurological acquired diseases, and upper limb impairment is one of its most common sequelae. In clinical practice, it is usually assessed by clinical rating scales. In recent years, the use of robotic devices [...]
EMG recording in every condition Surface EMG and accelerations from the muscle of rally drivers! Modern equipment for the acquisition of the EMG signal and acceleration during movement is provided with an internal memory on which the data is stored. The latter allows long [...]
From 2019 to 2021 Andrea Merlo, founder of MerloBioEngineering, participated as an expert at the CICERONE Consensus Conference, promoted by SIMFER and SIRN (Italian societies of rehabilitation) on the use of robotic rehabilitation in patients with neurological disorders, as stroke. From expert panel to practical [...]
Hamstrings injury in athletes Football players are particularly susceptible to hamstring injuries, especially those related to kicking or sprinting, which involve simultaneous hip flexion and knee extension. One third of injuries recur with the highest risk during the two weeks following return to sport, due to the prematurity of this or to an [...]
The study of a physiological index Localised myoelectric fatigue is caused by the accumulation of lactates in the muscle that is sustaining work over a period of time. This is a parameter that can be assessed in athletes, for the study of muscle function [...]
The software development process at MerloBioEngineering Chewing is a complex phenomenon that requires coordination of the mouth districts to grind different types of bolus. Unilateral posterior crossbite is the most frequent malocclusion present in children, characterised by a non-congruence between the [...]
MerloBioEngineering lands in Japan! We are pleased to share that Honda, the world-leading multinational corporation in the automotive and robotics fields, has recently purchased the latest version of EmgEasyReport software by MerloBioEngineering, to further improve the performance of its products and guarantee customers the best user experience. [...]
The lack of fall risk assessment in discharged patients Falls are the most common adverse event occurring in care facilities and hospitals, particularly in rehabilitation wards. The period after discharge is a critical phase in which the risk of [...]
Features of the new Research Tools in EMG Easy Reports were used by our team to automatically analyze 540 hours of EMG data from long-lasting acquisitions in patients with brain lesions. This was done all in one night! Sounds good!
Early as 20 years ago, we collaborated on the ideation and design of wearable devices and signal processing tools for assessing movement in healthy subjects and in those with central and peripheral nervous system disorders. This was made at the Laboratorie de Cinésiologie of the University Hospital [...]
