表面肌电图[肌电图]诊断协议的开发，以评估神经肌肉/姿势的贡献疼痛状态。在患者坐位和站立位时，监测左右两侧11个肌群的肌电活动。通过比较4个诊断组的EMG活动模式来评估诊断方案：仅头痛，仅颈/肩/上背痛，仅腰痛和混合疼痛状态。显然，额肌群和咬肌群中的双侧EMG活动水平对于头痛患者是首要的，腰和颈椎旁肌群中的右侧和左侧EMG活动之间的差异对于腰痛患者是首要的，位置（坐/站）可以提供重要的诊断信息，并且数据似乎支持姿势障碍作为下背痛的促成因素的概念。
A surface EMG [electromyogram] diagnostic protocol was developed to assess the neuromuscular/postural contributions to pain states. The EMG activity of the right and left aspects of 11 muscle groups were monitored while the patient was in the sitting and standing positions. The diagnostic protocol was evaluated by comparing the patterns of EMG activity in 4 diagnostic groups: headache only, neck/shoulder/upper back pain only, low back pain only and mixed pain states. Evidently, bilateral levels of EMG activity in the frontalis and masseter groups are of primary importance for the headache patients, the discrepancy between the right and left EMG activity in the lumbar and cervical paraspinal muscle groups are of primary importance for low back pain patients, position (sit/stand) may provide important diagnostic information and the data appear to support the notion of a postural disturbance as a contributing factor in low back pain.
