Reflex-mediated dynamic neuromuscular stabilization in stroke patients: EMG processing and ultrasound imaging

Why the hell are we still writing about NDT/Bobath? It has been proven multiple times to not be effective. Because we have no public database of stroke research and protocols we get stuff like this that wastes time and resources.  Meaning that our stroke researchers don't keep up-to-date in their own field. A great stroke association president would be on top of this problem because a strategy would be being followed. But we have NO STRATEGY AND NO LEADERSHIP.

Abstract: Study examined the therapeutic effects of neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) core stabilization exercises on muscular activity, core stability, and core muscle thickness. Ten participants (5 healthy adults and 5 hemiparetic stroke patients) were evaluated. Surface electromyography (EMG) was used to determine core muscle activity of the transversus abdominis/internal oblique (TrA/IO), external oblique, and rectus abdominis muscles. Ultrasound imaging was used to measure transversus abdominals/internal oblique (TrA/IO) thickness, and a pressure biofeedback unit was used to measure core stability during the DNS and NDT core exercise conditions. Data are reported as median and range and were compared using nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Both healthy and stroke groups showed greater median EMG amplitude in the TrA/IO muscles, core stability, and muscle thickness values during the DNS exercise condition than during the NDT core exercise condition. However, the relative changes in the EMG amplitude, core stability, and muscle thickness values were greater during the DNS exercise condition than during the NDT core exercise condition in the stroke patient group. The results provide the first clinical evidence that DNS is more effective than NDT in both healthy and c stroke subjects to provide superior deep core muscle activation, core stabilization, and muscle thickness. Moreover, such advantageous therapeutic benefits of the DNS core stabilization exercise over the NDT exercise were more apparent in the hemiparetic stroke patients than normal controls.
