Detection of pronator muscle overactivity in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy: development of a semi-automatic method using EMG data

Conclusions. Detection of pronator overactivity by using surface EMG provides an important complement to the clinical examination. This method can be used clinically, with the condition that clinicians be aware of surface EMG limitations. We believe use of this method can increase the accuracy of treatment for muscle overactivity, resulting in improved motor function and no worsening of paresis.
