However, individual variation in the muscle shear modulus obscures differences between healthy and diseased individuals. Normalization may improve the comparability between individuals. The shear modulus at different functional tasks served as a reference for normalizing the neck muscles’ shear modulus of 38 women, 20 with chronic neck pain and 18 asymptomatic. Reference tasks were maximal voluntary contraction, relaxed sitting, prone head lift, balancing 1 kg on the head, and neck extension at 48 N. The effects of normalization on within-group variation and between-group differences were compared. Normalization with maximal voluntary contraction was discarded due to imaging problems. Normalization with relaxed sitting, prone head lift, balancing 1 kg, and neck extension at 48 N reduced within-group variation, by 23.2%, 26.8%, 11.6%, and 33.6%, respectively. All four normalization approaches reduced the p-values when testing for between-group differences. For the pain group, normalization with relaxed sitting and head lift indicated less normalized muscle stiffness, while normalization with balancing 1 kg and extension at 48 N indicated higher stiffness. The contradictory results are explainable by non-significant group differences in the reference tasks. Normalization of the muscle shear modulus is effective to reduce within-group variation, but a trustworthy normalization approach for group comparisons has yet to be identified."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and Culture"],["dc.description.sponsorship","Institute of Applied Research of Furtwangen University"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/diagnostics12081791"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112634"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.eissn","2075-4418"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.title","Assessment of Neck Muscle Shear Modulus Normalization in Women with and without Chronic Neck Pain"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Activation onset can be estimated from electromyography (EMG)-registered muscle excitation and from ultrasound-registered muscle motion, which enables non-invasive measurements in deep muscles. However, in voluntary activation, EMG-and ultrasound-detected activation onsets may not correspond. To evaluate this, ten healthy men performed isometric elbow flexion at 20% to 70% of their maximal force. Utilising a multi-channel electrode transparent to ultrasound, EMG and M(otion)-mode ultrasound were recorded simultaneously over the biceps brachii muscle. The time intervals between automated and visually estimated activation onsets were correlated with the regional variation of EMG and muscle motion onset, contraction level and speed. Automated and visual onsets indicated variable time intervals between EMG-and motion onset, median (interquartile range) 96 (121) ms and 48 (72) ms, respectively. In 17% (computed analysis) or 23% (visual analysis) of trials, motion onset was detected before local EMG onset. Multi-channel EMG and M-mode ultrasound revealed regional differences in activation onset, which decreased with higher contraction speed (Spearman rho >= 0.45, P < 0.001). In voluntary activation the heterogeneous motor unit recruitment together with immediate motion transmission may explain the high variation of the time intervals between local EMG-and ultrasound-detected activation onset."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2017"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/srep42011"],["dc.identifier.isi","000393550900001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","28176821"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/14273"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/43250"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Nature Publishing Group"],["dc.relation.issn","2045-2322"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Spatial variation and inconsistency between estimates of onset of muscle activation from EMG and ultrasound"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We aimed at understanding age-related changes to spine and trunk muscle activity in addition to spinal and lower limb kinematics during treadmill walking under various conditions. An observational study was conducted evaluating asymptomatic young (n = 10; 3F, 7M; 26.3±2.5yrs) and older (n = 9; 3F, 6M; 67.1±4.2yrs) adults' treadmill walking at 2km/h and 4km/h, each at 0, 1, 5, and 10% inclination. Unilateral (right side) electromyography (EMG) was recorded from deep and superficial multifidus (intramuscular) and erector spinae and abdominal obliques (surface); trunk and leg kinematics were also measured. Muscle activity was characterised by peak amplitude and duration of activity, and the time-point of peak amplitude in the gait cycle (0-100%). Peak activation in older adults was lower for the superficial multifidus (p<0.0001) and higher for the thoracolumbar (p<0.001) and lumbar erector spinae (p<0.01). The duration of activation was longer in older adults for all muscles (p<0.05) except the superficial multifidus, and longer during faster walking for all participants. The time-point of peak amplitude in the gait cycle was earlier in older participants for the external obliques (p<0.05). Walking speed appeared to influence muscle activity more than inclination. Older adults used less spine, trunk and lower limb motion, except at the ankle. Age-related differences within multifidus and between paravertebral and trunk muscles were inconsistent. Walking at 4km/h at 5-10% inclination may specifically target the lumbar paravertebral muscles."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1371/journal.pone.0206514"],["dc.identifier.pmid","30408111"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/15902"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59739"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","1932-6203"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Age-related changes in trunk muscle activity and spinal and lower limb kinematics during gait"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The objective of this study was to create a German, culturally-adapted version of the CSI and to test its psychometric properties.\r\n \r\n \r\n Methods\r\n A German version of the CSI (CSI-GE) was developed, culturally-adapted, and pretested for comprehensibility. The psychometric properties of the resulting version were validated in a clinical study with chronic pain and pain-free control subjects. To assess retest reliability, the CSI-GE was administered twice to a subgroup of patients. Structural validity was tested using factor analyses. To investigate construct validity a hypotheses testing approach was used, including (1) correlations between the CSI-GE and several other well-established questionnaires as well as (2) an investigation of the CSI-GE discriminative power between different subgroups of participants believed to have different degrees of CS.\r\n \r\n \r\n Results\r\n The CSI-GE showed excellent reliability, including high test-retest characteristics. Factor analyses confirmed a bi-factor dimensionality as has been determined previously. Analysing construct validity 6 out of 11 hypotheses (55%) were met. CSI-GE scores differentiated between subgroups according to expectations. Correlations between CSI-GE scores and other questionnaires suggested that none of the correlated constructs was identical, but there was overlap with other questionnaires based on symptom load. Several correlations did not fit with our current understanding of CS.\r\n \r\n \r\n Conclusion\r\n The CSI-GE appears to be a reliable tool for measuring CS/CSS-related symptomatology. Whether this implies that the CSI-GE measures the degree of CS within an individual subject remains unknown. The resulting score should be interpreted cautiously until further clarification of the construct."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Open-Access-Publikationsfonds 2021"],["dc.identifier.citation","BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. 2021 Aug 18;22(1):708"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s12891-021-04481-5"],["dc.identifier.pii","4481"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/93524"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/112953"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI-Import GROB-455"],["dc.publisher","BioMed Central"],["dc.relation.eissn","1471-2474"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.holder","The Author(s)"],["dc.subject","Central sensitization inventory"],["dc.subject","Central sensitization"],["dc.subject","Central sensitivity syndromes"],["dc.subject","CSI"],["dc.subject","CSI-GE"],["dc.subject","Chronic pain"],["dc.subject","Cross-cultural adaptation"],["dc.subject","Psychometric validation"],["dc.title","Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the German Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI-GE)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
