An application of a dynamic thermography for studying a relation between thermal and mechanical activities of a skeletal muscle during a static load

A thermal distribution provides useful information of physiological and pathological processes. However, only a static thermography was applied in the most of medical studies. This paper shows an example of application of a dynamic thermography to study a physiological activity of a skeletal muscle. The goal of the presented work was to study a putative relationship between mechanical and thermal activity of the quadriceps during a static submaximal load. During a strain a dynamic temperature distribution on a thigh surface and a force moment of a knee erector were registered. The performed analysis used a time-dependent mean temperature, a time-dependent standard deviation and an impulse of a force moment. Moreover, we analyzed of autocorrelation functions to compare the dynamics of these parameters. Finally, we showed the nonlinear, statistically significant relationship between spatial-temporal variability of temperature and the force developing by a concentrative contracted quadriceps. A possible biological interpretation of the identified relation is also proposed taking the described mathematical model of muscle heat transfer into account.

The influence of confounding factors on the relationship between muscle contraction level and MF and MPF values of EMG signal: a review

The purpose of this article is to gather results of studies on the relationship between median frequency (MF) and mean power frequency (MPF) and the level of muscle contraction, and to use those results to discuss the differences in the trends according to factors related to measurement technique and subject. Twenty-one studies with 63 cases for upper limb muscles and nine studies with 31 cases for lower limb muscles were analysed. Most results showed an increase in parameters with an increased level of muscle contraction, only some studies showed a decrease. The influence on parameters of the level of muscle contraction and factors such as subjects, type of contraction, muscle length and electrodes was analysed for each muscle. It was concluded that when analysing the influence of different factors on MF and MPF, because those factors interact they should be considered together, not separately.
