Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluation of muscle force irradiation, through surface electromyography.

    Irradiation of muscle strength will be assessed using surface electromyography, which shows the activation or not of the muscles evaluated.

    This evaluation of patients is performed in only one day, being made before, during and after the application of the protocols. It is estimated that the results are collected in one years.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 30 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Healthy individuals group: who agree to participate in the study with no history of previous trauma or disease of the shoulder girdle, with absence of clinical signs painful in the shoulder joint.
  • Group with demyelinating polyneuropathy: both sexes, carriers of CMT-1A disease with functional changes in the lower limbs with good cognition and difficulty of to ambulate with and without assistance.

You may not qualify if:

  • Healthy individuals group: subject with restricted range of motion, muscle weakness, cognitive impairment, which exhibits a pathology that leads to alterations in muscle recruitment.
  • Patients with polyneuropathy: cardiac arrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, severe cardiovascular disease and respiratory problems. The use of own medicines to treat pathology was accepted.
