I'm sure your therapist can explain exactly how this will be used to help your recovery.

Résumé / Abstract
The authors present results of a pilot study
on biomechanics of non-cyclic movements of the human consequent
verticalization in the ontogenesis of patients with post-stroke
hemiparesis (10 patients in the acute stage of cerebral stroke) and 10
healthy volunteers without neurologic and orthopedic pathology. Some
movements of therapeutic exercises Balance (a model of ontogenetic
kinesitherapy) have been selected for the study. Cinematic parameters
have been recorded using a system of motion 3D video analysis, a
kinematic model was build in accordance to standard protocols. The skin
(native and straightened) electromyogram (EMG) was recorded
synchronously with kinematic data using 16-channel electromyography from
the following pairs of muscles: mm. sternocleido-mastoideus, trapezius
(??горизонтаʌьная пория), biceps brachii, triceps brachii, rectus
femoris, adductor magnus. Major differences in the EMG picture between
patients and controls were: 1) the EMG «monotony» with the involvement
of multiple additional muscles in locomotions with the prevalence of the
peculiar «tonic» muscle activity (low amplitudes without distinct
peaks), stretching along the whole cycle of movement. In controls, EMG
demonstrated variability and had mostly «phasic» character with distinct
1 or 2 peaks; 2) the asymmetry of EMG profile in symmetric movements.
i.e. when performed simultaneously from the right and from the left
sides. The latter feature may be considered as predictive because it was
never found in healthy people. It allows to identify objectively weak
muscles even in the absence of visible parethis during the routine
neurological examination.
