System for measuring muscle activation by means of surface sensors.
Sport, Health and Ergonomics
It is used to measure when muscles are activated during movement, with what force they contract and also muscle fatigue.
In sport, this tool is used to improve movement efficacy; in healthcare, it is used to diagnose neurological diseases and diseases of the locomotor system, and also to assist with recuperation and rehabilitation from such diseases.
This tool is the gold standard in the field of biomechanics, as a non-invasive means of studying muscle activation.
