Body
Muscle force in living human beings is difficult to determine, because most methods are highly invasive. Electromyography (EMG) and joint kinematics are the most widely-used methods to assess muscle function, but are limited in their usefulness in dynamic motion. Intramuscular pressure, measured by placing a fiber optic pressure sensor into the muscle may be a new tool to bridge this gap. Recent results in the lab have shown that ,. These studies are being done in collaboration with .
