Abstract

It is necessary to examine Tibialis Anterior (TA) Electromyography (EMG) activity patterns in order to develop better rehabilitation strategies for drop foot. This paper examines TA EMG activation pattern changes with varying walking speed during over ground and treadmill walking. EMG activation patterns were biphasic in nature increased with an increase in speed and displayed different activity patterns during the early to mid-swing phase of gait. Two different patterns of activation became evident.
