VMG – Length-Tension Curves
To date it has been difficult to characterize the length-tension curve for a specific muscle. However, recent developments in the application of vibromyographic (VMG) technology to assess muscle effort permit an accurate determination of length-tension curve, thereby permitting accurate diagnosis and rehabilitation of muscle.
