Vibromyography to Assess Quad Rehab After ACL Tear

A new application note for the Vibromyography transducer (TSD250) addresses how VMG can be used to assess quadriceps rehabilitation progress in a young adult male following ACL reconstruction. Vibromyography (VMG) has distinct benefits over dynamometry in that VMG recordings reproducibly reflect absolute muscle effort up to 100% of maximum voluntary contraction. Correspondingly, VMG can be […]

New VMG report: isometric absolute muscle effort

Vibromyography (VMG) has distinct benefits over EMG in that the recordings much more accurately reflect absolute muscle effort up to 100% maximum voluntary contraction. Correspondingly, VMG can be used to both evaluate muscle changes over time in a given individual or to compare between two populations the muscle effort required to complete a specific task. […]
