Summary
This case report study analyzed the degree of muscular activity and timing in selected muscles of upper extremity (humeral cluster) with three different kinds of the grip during walking with the white stick. The electromyographic activity of m. flexor carpi radialis dx, m. extensor carpi ulnaris dx, m. biceps brachii dx, m. triceps brachii dx, m. tibialis ant dx, upper part of m. trapezius dx, m. tibialis anterior and upper part of m. trapezius sin was evaluated in two blind probands during walking without previous training with and without obstacles and gradually with all three different kinds of the white cane. The results of the study suggest that primary training in the stick may cane be one of the key moments in subsequent formation of motion stereotypes, which become emphasized during walking in the environment under load. The upper sc. alternative white cane, displayed decreased activity in trapeze muscles, which belong, in more general association, among the indices of starting overload of upper extremity. In the conclusion the authors suggest that sc. alternative white cane, will become one of the following variants in the white cane.
Key words:
