Influences of upper limb orthosis on trunk muscle activity during static and dynamic sitting tasks for hemiparetic stroke
Background
We aimed to clarify the immediate effect of wearing the Omo Neurexa upper limb suspended orthosis (Ottobock Japan, Tokyo, Japan) on trunk muscle activity during seated tasks.
Methods
Fifteen participants with upper limb hemiparesis were included. Surface electromyography of the thoracic and lumbar erector spinae and the external oblique muscles was performed. All participants performed static sitting, repetitive lateral reaching, and maximum lateral reaching tasks with or without the orthosis. The paired t-test was performed to compare the trunk muscle activity with and without the orthosis.
Findings
During static sitting, the activity of the thoracic and lumbar erector spinae muscles on the non-paretic side was significantly greater with the orthosis than without it (p = 0.025 and p = 0.047, respectively). The time required to complete five repetitive lateral reaching was significantly shorter with the orthosis than without it (p= 0.030). However, the orthosis did not affect during f repetitive lateral reaching and maximum lateral reaching task.
Interpretation
The upper limb orthosis may influence the activity of the trunk muscles of patients who had had a stroke during static sitting and improve the sitting reaching performance. Our results suggest that the effects of upper limb orthoses on trunk muscle and sitting performance should be further explored for the treatment of sitting disabilities after hemiparetic stroke.

期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
