Overview
This case study compares electromyographic activity of specific muscles during walking on dry land and in water. Subject male, aged 67 was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of 56 years. A surface EMG was used to measure muscle activity in the m. tibialis anterior, m. gastrocnemius, m. rectus femoris, m. biceps femoris and mm. erectors spinae at the TH/L level. The resultant EMG signal was rectified and then the normalized muscle activity level was evaluated for walking on dry land and in water.
Results showed identical normalized activity of monitored muscles in the water environment, which indicates a permanent effect of the pathological central program accompanying Parkinson’s disease, where the coordination pattern typical for the water environment fails to occur..
