Analysis of scapsular muscle recruitment in patients with chronic shoulder and neck pain, by use of fine wire EMG and muscle functional MRI Ghent University
The overall goal is to evaluate the amount and timing of activation of the different shoulder girdle muscles, in a sample of patients with chronic neck pain and shoulder pain compared to healthy subjects. All muscles surrounding the scapula will be examined during several tasks using 2 methods of investigation: Electromyography (surface and fine-wire) and Muscle functional MRI.
