Nonlinear Switching Dynamics in Surface Electromyography of the Spine

Nonlinear Switching Dynamics in Surface Electromyography of the Spine

This paper develops a switching dynamics model of the surface Electromyographic (sEMG) signal generated during a condition in which the mechanical attachment of the spinal dura to the cervical vertebra creates an unstable nonlinear feedback coupling between the biomechanics of the spine and the central nervous system (CNS).

Dynamic Modeling of Spinal Electromyographic Activity During Various Conditions

Dynamic Modeling of Spinal Electromyographic Activity During Various Conditions

The surface Electromyographic (sEMG) signals recorded along the spine during a rocking motion created by feedback coupling between the motion of the spine and the efferent nerve fibers at the dural attachment points are giving various linear dynamical models of the ARIMA type.

Dynamic modeling of spinal EMG activity.

Dynamic modeling of spinal EMG activity.

In this early presentation to an NSF dynamical systems workshop at the University of Southern California, Edmond Jonckheere's engineering team asked whether surface EMG recorded along the spine could track the progress of Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) care.

Music Therapy and Chiropractic: An Integrative Model of Tonal and Rhythmic Spinal Adjustment.

This perspective piece, written by a board-certified music therapist and a chiropractor, proposes live improvised music therapy as a partner to Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) during the adjustment itself.

Chaotic Modeling in Network Spinal Analysis: Nonlinear Canonical Correlation with Alternating Conditional Expectation (ACE): A Preliminary Report

This paper presents a preliminary non-linear mathematical analysis of surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals from a subject receiving Network Spinal Analysis (NSA).The unfiltered sEMG data was collected over a bandwidth of 10-500 Hz and stored on a PC compatible computer.

Reduction of Psoriasis in a Patient under Network Spinal Analysis Care: A Case Report

This case report describes the progress of a 52 year old male with chronic psoriasis, first diagnosed in April of 1992. After the condition exacerbated over a five year period, he was placed on 12.5 mg/week methotrexate, and oral immunosuppressant medication in October of 1997.
