Electromyography
The electrical activity of muscle as it contracts provides valuable information on the amount of effort and physiological mechanisms of a muscle as it contracts during a given task. The school has numerous electromyography (EMG) systems open to researchers which are synchronised with our motion capture systems so we can also accurately determine the timing of when a muscle contracts in relation to a movement task.
Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging
Rehabilitative ultrasound imaging has become increasingly popular in the field of Physiotherapy as it provides as easy assessment of muscle size and shape without the need of exposure to harmful radiation. It can also be used as a useful biofeedback tool to help train people to contract the correct muscles.
