Advancing our understanding of equine muscle function through the integration of surface electromyography (sEMG) in equine gait analysis with Dr Lindsay Blair St George

Thursday 7 December 2023 @ 19:00 HRS GMT

Advancing our understanding of equine muscle function through the integration of surface electromyography (sEMG) in equine gait analysis with Dr Lindsay Blair St George Surface electromyography (sEMG) is gaining popularity within the ever-growing field of equine biomechanics. This is mainly due to the recognition that integration of sEMG in equine gait analysis is important for obtaining a comprehensive understanding of equine locomotion. This presentation will provide an overview of the use of sEMG in equine gait analysis, covering both clinical and sports performance applications.
