Background: Limited research is available in understanding or evaluating the physical benefits of assistive devices for patient use following major abdominal surgery. Methods: Twenty healthy participants (9 men, 11 women) took part in a laboratory study to test the effects of device configuration (five levels) and bed elevation angle (0\u00b0 and 30\u00b0) on mean and peak upper and lower rectus abdominis and external oblique concentric and eccentric muscle activity. Results: Reduced muscle activity was associated with the use of an assistive device, as compared with manual bed rising (unassisted). Positioning the devices at a higher anchor height and\/or increasing the bed elevation angle further reduced muscle activity. Objective and subjective differences between the two assistive devices evaluated in the study were found. Conclusion: These results suggest that self-assistive devices may speed recovery because of reduced loads on damaged tissues. Application: Potential applications of this research include the assessment of other commercially available lift aids or comparisons of self-assistive lift aids with hospital-housed lift aids used to speed recovery rates. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1518\/001872008x250764","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,17]],"date-time":"2008-04-17T02:18:40Z","timestamp":1208398720000},"page":"237-255","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Electromyographic Evaluation of a Bed Assistive Device for Abdominal Surgery Patients in Postoperative Care"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Grace","family":"Tran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mayo Clinic , Rochester, Minnesota"}]},{"given":"Kari","family":"Babski-Reeves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mississippi State University, Starkville, Mississippi,"}]},{"given":"Maury A.","family":"Nussbaum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.1995.tb05804.x"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"633","volume":"37","author":"Alexander, N.B.","year":"2000","journal-title":"Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17483100612331392844"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004640090105"},{"volume-title":"Calculate your body mass index","year":"2005","author":"Department of Health and Human Services &amp; National Institutes of Health.","key":"atypb5"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002060-196510000-00003"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/73.5.300"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-9993(94)90679-3"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ptj\/81.5.1096"},{"key":"atypb10","volume-title":"Anatomical guide for the electromyographer: The limbs and trunk","author":"Perotto, A.","year":"1994","edition":"3"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9290(96)80011-X"},{"volume-title":"Assistive intervention in the characterization of muscle activity during bed rising and assessment of self-perceived recovery measures for abdominal surgery patients in postoperative care.
