Observation of Electromyographic Biofeedback Stimulation on Acupoints to Improve Foot Drop in Stroke Patients with Hemiplegia by Lingyan HE, Ling FENG, Zhengyi CHEN

“…Before treatment and after 8 weeks of treatment, the Fugl-Meyer (FMA) scores of the lower limb function, active range of motion (AROM) of ankle joint and isometric contraction surface EMG integral value (iEMG) of ankle joint maximum flexion of the anterior tibial muscle were used to assess both in two groups respectively.Results:After 8 weeks of treatment, there were statistically significance comparison of the FMA, AROM and iEMG in group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01) and between two groups (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).Conclusion:Electromyographic biofeedback stimulation on acupoints can improve stroke patients with foot drop and lower limb motor function effectively.…”

Experimental Study on Cracking Behaviour and Strength Properties of an Expansive Soil under Cyclic Wetting and Drying by Tao Li, Yanqing He, Guokun Liu, Binru Li, Rui Hou

“…The applied vertical load reduces the weakening effect of the wetting-drying cycles on the soil structure and strength by restraining the expansion and contraction deformation. (2) By analyzing the number of wetting-drying cycles and the crack images, the crack development (length, direction, etc.) of the expansive soil can be predicted and described. (3) There is a specific linear correlation between the crack ratio and strength that approached a limit value with ongoing wetting-drying cycles. …”
