EMG Frequency Study SynopsisPARAMETERS
- Telemetry EMG recordings were taken from sixteen separate muscles while subjects
performed six activities: lying, throwing, lifting, jogging, stepping up on a
stool, and a karate chop.
- Comparisons were made on male and female experimental and control
groups, before and after Rolfing.
Statistical findings were evaluated with reference to efficiency in specific tasks and effects
on posture, flexibility and entropy. |

FINDINGS
- Of sixteen muscles sampled fifteen showed significant changes.
Better than .05 level and all above the sixty-six percent prediction
of the criterion of Rolfing.
- When experimental and control groups were compared on before and
after recordings, forty three frequency parameters discriminated between
groups. Of these, forty one showed distinct superior changes
in the Rolfed group.
- "Rolfing made consistent major improvement in efficiency of motor performance by
improved organization and balance of the neuromuscular system"
