An EEG is a test that detects the brain's electrical activity. Used to evaluate head injuries or neurological disorders, an EEG...
Optimal loading involves the prescription of an exercise stimulus that promotes positive tissue adaptation, restoring function in patients undergoing rehabilitation and improving performance in healthy athletes. Implicit in optimal loading is the need to monitor the response to load, but what constitutes a...
To perform an EMG test, an external electrode sends electrical impulses to the affected muscle. Another electrode, in the form of a small needle, is then inserted in the muscle to record the neurological response. The response is appraised at different levels of muscle contraction in order to ...
