    One Company • One Software • Limitless Insights Working with multiple software platforms can be frustrating. From compatibility issues to inconsistent results, a substantial amount of time can be lost trying to switch between different software packages, disrupting the workflow. Moreover, when working with various devices and multiple software programs, fragmented data

    Electromyography (EMG) measures the muscle response or electrical activity by way of a nerve’s stimulation of the muscle. In particular, Surface EMG signals are recorded by non-invasive electrodes on the surface of the skin above the muscle to assess muscle function and understand how well the brain and musculoskeletal system are coordinated. Surface EMG is an important part

    The repetitive nature of some sports can cause stress injuries, also known as overuse injuries, that can have a significant impact on an athlete’s performance. These injuries often occur when an athlete is not training correctly or employs improper movement mechanics, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, or weakness. The most common occurrences of repetitive

    Understanding Fall Risk According to the CDC, one in four adults aged 65 years and older fall each year and less than half report these accidents to their doctors. Many factors can cause a fall, including: Eyesight, hearing, and/or reflex decline Medical conditions such as diabetes and heart complications Cognitive disabilities such as dementia Age-related muscle mass loss

    What is Range of Motion?  Range of motion (ROM) is a measure of flexibility around a specific joint or body part. In general, there are two types of range of motion that are most commonly measured: active ROM and passive ROM.  Active range of motion (AROM) is the range of motion that can be achieved

    What is Electromyography and How is it Used? Surface electromyography (EMG), otherwise known as kinesiological EMG, is a technique used for measuring and evaluating the electrical signals emanating from skeletal muscles.  It works by sensing the myoelectric signal produced from small electrical currents generated by motor unit action potentials, or the exchange of ions
