ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION TECHNIQUES
TLDR
What appears unique to this method, however, is its holistic concept which emphasizes the mechanisms associated with structural imbalance and their farreaching effects upon adaptability, efficiency, and behavior, and the unusual techniques employed for intervention and change.
The interrelationships between anxiety, motor performance and electromyography.
TLDR
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was administered in this study to distinguish A-State and A-Traits subjects, while electromyography was used to investigate qualitative differences in motor behavior.
Effects of soft tissue mobilization (Rolfing pelvic lift) on parasympathetic tone in two age groups.
TLDR
The results of this study contribute to the understanding of pelvic mobilization techniques and may help to explain why these techniques have been clinically successful in treating myofascial pain syndromes and other musculoskeletal dysfunctions characterized by reduced parasympathetic tone and excessive sympathetic activity.
Passive muscle stiffness may be influenced by active contractility of intramuscular connective tissue.
Active fascial contractility: Fascia may be able to contract in a smooth muscle-like manner and thereby influence musculoskeletal dynamics.
