Surface
electromyography
Surface electromyography measures muscle activation that is caused by the central nervous system through the impulse emitted by motor neurons.
Identifies alterations in muscle activation:
-
Muscles that need more activation (muscles in deficit)
-
Which muscles need to be less involved (excess muscles)
Ideal for
Muscle synergies
Pain is one of the main causes of altered neuromuscular patterns. This test allows us to assess how the muscles coordinate in amplitude and timing. It can also detect adhesive ligaments, epicondylitis, fractures, bone edema, periostitis, herniated discs, and bursitis.
Video feedback
We can provide real-time visual feedback, giving us control over the execution of the patient's movement or gesture. The measurement software analyzes the collected data and automatically generates graphical results that allow for comparison with other evaluated activation ranges.
Muscle asymmetries
We will be able to detect differences in muscle activation between one side of the body and the other, or between different muscle groups.
