Elsass Foundation: Supporting cerebral palsy patients through EMG innovation

Key Takeaways 1 Cerebral Palsy is caused by brain damage during pregnancy or shortly after birth. The condition affects posture, gait, muscle tone and coordination of movement. 2 EMG technology has been especially useful in clinical gait analysis as the data shows timing and intensity of muscle activity that might be lacking or delayed in […]

Based in Madrid, the Biomech team comprises a young and vibrant group who […]

Funded PhD Research Opportunity in Equine Gait Analysis

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Central Lancashire (Preston, UK), entitled “Development of a field-deployable equine gait analysis system using wearable surface electromyography (sEMG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors.” Equine Gait Analysis (EGA) has long been confined to research laboratories, requiring significant investments in time and finances […]

Physiological effects of COVID-19: The long road to recovery

Key Takeaways 1 Skeletal muscle weakness and fatigue, following COVID-19 hospitalizations, is inhibiting people from returning to their normal lives. 2 EMG driven rehabilitation games, powered nby a patient’s muscle activity, allow for short term rehabilitation of muscle strength in COVID-19 patients. 3 Trigno Link allows the integration of multiple technologies to study the interactions […]

Increased Data, Increased Distance: Breaking the Cycling 1-Hour Record

Key Takeaways 1 EMG data can provide assessments for coaches and athletes to better inform their performance. 2 EMG Sensors were connected to key power generating muscles of professional cyclists to inform and fine tune small margins. 3 During training with EMG sensors, the onset of fatigue and how it can alter recruitment of muscles […]

Performance Optimization using Electromyography (EMG) in Motorsport

Key Takeaways 1 EMG data is essential in understanding the activation and analysis of different muscles driving techniques in motor sports, like Formula 1. 2 Delsys EMG sensors were connected to the Formula 1 and Motorsport drivers to assess muscle activity for imbalances, asymmetries, activation timing, and fatigue. 3 After assessing a Formula 3 drivers […]

Motorsport Biomechanics: The Science of Speed

Electromyography (EMG) is a widely used tool for applications within sports biomechanics and performance optimisation. The development of advanced wireless sensor technologies has provided coaches, researchers and clinicians key insights into neuromuscular recruitment strategies and muscle fatigue during their athlete’s performance. Whilst many sports currently use EMG technologies to investigate muscle activity, there is limited […]

EMG Voice; How electromyography is giving a voice to those who cannot speak

Key Takeaways 1 Subvocal speech recognition presents itself as an alternative communication method to overcome the limitations of augmentative and alternative communication. 2 EMG technology has the potential to analyze the complex muscular architecture of the face and neck for subvocal speech recognition research by extracting the signals and utilizing them for automated speech recognition. […]
