Marc RhodesHOST
Squatting on paper is a phenomenal lift.
Marc RhodesHOST
And people who argue this always talk about the EMG data and how well it recruits lower limb tissue and builds all these different qualities.
Marc RhodesHOST
But there are other ways to do that.
Marc RhodesHOST
And that's what I'm going to come to today.
Monique AndrewsGUEST
It depends on your budget.
Monique AndrewsGUEST
You know, can you afford equipment that costs several thousand dollars to look at things like heart rate variability, surface EMG, thermography? These are great objective tools used appropriately.
Monique AndrewsGUEST
I think also you have outcome assessment tools in the screens, which are essentially are free.
Monique AndrewsGUEST
You know, use an SF-36 along with a resilience score, maybe a PROMIS-29.
Denise NicholsGUEST
You end up not being able to walk.
Denise NicholsGUEST
You'd have to get diagnosed, you'd have to be followed up routinely, EMG, spinal tap, that whole work, and you have to get to that point at neuro.
Denise NicholsGUEST
So they have to rule out spine and there you take us, okay? So it takes a while.
Denise NicholsGUEST
It took us from February to April, okay, to get to neuroplasticity, okay? I put you out weekly on Facebook, on CIDP.
Christine StraderGUEST
This is backed by research.
Christine StraderGUEST
They have done research studies on this where they have done EMG studies on the pelvic floor muscles to see what is the activity of those pelvic floor muscles when someone is in a stressful situation.
Christine StraderGUEST
So for example, they put on a stressful image and the people are watching it and their pelvic floor muscles tightened up.
Christine StraderGUEST
And then they gave them, it was like heart arithmetic or math problems or something.
Stephen LakeGUEST
First product there was this device called Mayo.
Stephen LakeGUEST
So this was an idea we had from I did a kind of an option in biomechanics and I'd use this technology called EMG, electromyography in university.
Stephen LakeGUEST
That's basically the electrical signals you get from your muscles.
Stephen LakeGUEST
And we had spent a bunch of time talking about the future of computing as we move away from kind of this generation of servers to desktop computers, to laptops, to phones, and sort of what's next after that.
Matt HillHOST
They have essentially overridden that system.
Matt HillHOST
They are seeing high EMG energy.
Matt HillHOST
That is that presentation of that raging bull.
Matt HillHOST
Now, as we know, clinical progression, that raging bull does not last.
Matt HillHOST
Drunken bull is oftentimes your stage two, where yeah, that sympathetic system has been stuck on for a long time, but as they progress through development, there's more asymmetry or disorganization.
Matt HillHOST
They go through these developmental windows and they can't adapt to them, so they make these bigger compensations.
Matt HillHOST
In a clinical sense, we see lower organizational scores on their EMG.
Matt HillHOST
We might see their HRV that used to be very sympathetically dominant just kind of fall off the map where it gets more tired and they get more exhausted.
Trevor BachmeyerHOST
EEG electrodes, standardized scalp positions, 10, 20 international system, okay? Bilateral EOG, electrooculography.
Trevor BachmeyerHOST
For eye movement tracking, chin and leg EMG for muscle tone assessment, thoracic and abdominal respiratory effort builds, there's a nasal flow thermistor, pulse oximetry, and ECG.
Trevor BachmeyerHOST
The raw data is scored manually by a board-certified sleep medicine physician according to the AASM scoring criteria, a process requiring hours and hours and hours and hours of expert analysis per single night of recording.
Trevor BachmeyerHOST
This is what accurate sleep staging looks like, just so you know.
Carla FisherHOST
And they've actually done studies on that.
Carla FisherHOST
Sort of, I think they put EMG sort of pads or monitors on surgeons and just looked at how awful it is.
Carla FisherHOST
So we actually have data to support that.
Ellie KraftHOST
That is where I see the biggest proven benefit so far is really to...
Lauren YoungHOST
Gosh, that was so niche and so cool to listen to.
Lauren YoungHOST
Of course, Addison with his EMG nerve conduction study stuff.
Lauren YoungHOST
Chris, Becky Bliss, who came on and gosh, she's just like...
Lauren YoungHOST
We were planning to interview her about concussion and totally went in a different direction.
Mitzi Joi WilliamsHOST
And so my job is to try to figure out, is this something that needs to see the surgeon? So my job is, do you need to see Dr.
Mitzi Joi WilliamsHOST
Gaines? Or can you stay with me and we send you to physical therapy, right? And then sometimes if we feel like the problem is more peripheral, as you discussed, we talked about carpal tunnel or ulnar neuropathy, then we may do another test called an EMG test, right? And so the EMG test is one I tell people they're not going to like me very much when they get it done, okay? But it's a test where we look at the conduction of the nerves as the signals go to the spinal cord and back.
Mitzi Joi WilliamsHOST
And then also in some cases, they use a small needle to test the muscles and tell us about if there's any damage permanently or any long lasting damage to the muscles.
Mitzi Joi WilliamsHOST
So we look at those two tests to try to help us figure out, is it a central problem right in your spinal cord or is it something in the nerves that are running up and down the arm? Now, in many cases, we get the workup and I say, oh.
