Everything You Always Wanted to Know About sEMG* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) in Surface Electromyography: Physiology, Engineering and Applications, Wiley-IEEE press. A stunning new book from our "gurus" Prof. Roberto Merletti and Prof. Dario Farina. It reflects on developments in noninvasive [...]
We recently participated in an interesting publication on a case of parkinsonism and dystonia in a patient with 18p Chromosomal Deletion encompassing the GNAL gene. This is the result of great teamwork with esteemed colleagues from Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria of [...]
The MerloBioEngineering team recently contributed to writing an article published in the Italian Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine. This paper, authored by a working group established by the Italian Society for Movement Analysis in Clinic [...]
We recently published a paper written in collaboration with leading experts in gait analysis at the European level. The manuscript is titled "Current practices in clinical gait analysis in Europe: A comprehensive survey-based study from the European society for [...]
Instrumental gait analysis is widely used to provide a quantitative description of gait impairments among people with neurological conditions, such as stroke and cerebral palsy. Common applications of gait analysis in clinical settings encompass functional diagnosis, disease progression monitoring, [...]
Traditionally, the challenge of foot elevation during the swing phase has been ascribed to spasticity in the plantarflexor muscles, triggered by the opposite dorsiflexion movement. However, the literature has shown that spasticity poorly correlates with dorsiflexion deficit and voluntary [...]
From April 10th to 12th, 2024, the MerloBioEngineering team took part in several presentations of the course "Advanced Course in Motion Analysis in Clinical Rehabilitation," organized by Dr. Maurizio Petrarca and Dr. Martina Favetta from Bambin Gesù Children's Hospital. [...]
Our collaborative research efforts at Sol et Salus Hospital have yielded significant findings once again, this time focusing on the impact of neuro-orthopedic surgery on triceps surae spasticity. Building upon our previous study investigating quadriceps femoris lengthening, this latest [...]
How is the satisfaction of neurological patients who have undergone neuro-orthopedic surgery 1-3 years later? At Sol et Salus Hospital, we asked ourselves this question during the Covid-19 pandemic, when non-urgent follow-up visits were canceled and patients returned home [...]
Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay, also known as ARSAC syndrome, is a rare genetic condition characterized by early onset. It leads to cerebellar dysfunction, spasticity, and sensory-motor polyneuropathy. Paper published At the Motion [...]
