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
