and rehabilitation. EMG has a wide range of applications that
include rehabilitation in various conditions as well as in spe-
cific fields such as kinesiology and biomechanics. EMG may
be used to analyse muscle dysfunction in athletes, detect
inappropriate muscle activation patterns and assist in estab-
lishing and assessing treatment outcomes in conditions like
incontinence and low back pain. Low back pain in athletes is a
condition resistant to treatment, and an understanding of this
syndrome has been possible only through the use of EMG.
The study of postural and neuromuscular control responses
has demonstrated that these responses differ in low back ache
and healthy subjects.
