We are proud to announce that the football club FC Paok has implemented TMG into their daily work. TMG will provide individual muscle profiles of all the players in order to manage muscular risks. TMG will also be used during the rehabilitation process of Paok players. We wish Dr.Emmanuel T. PAPACOSTAS and his colleagues a lot of success in this season.

We are happy to announce the first publication where our new method- MC- was used in impact biomechanics. The aim of the study was to evaluate a novel approach to measuring neck muscle load and activity in vehicle collision conditions.

The authors concluded that such an approach enables a more detailed assessment of the muscle-tendon complex load of a vehicle occupant in pre-impact and impact conditions. Also, the passive component of the muscle-tendon complex force cannot be estimated by EMG itself. The MC sensor can efficiently measure the activity of the superficial neck muscles that contribute the main action to the impact response.

The mechanomyography offers the possibility to complement and overcome some difficulties of EMG, commonly used in volunteer testing of human body dynamics and interaction with a vehicle. The potential usability of MC sensors includes an analysis of the human body response in low-severity impact conditions, development of restraints and active safety systems, as well as the ergonomics of vehicle interiors.

We are happy to participate in ECSS again. This year we have a special congress president Dr. Alexander Ferrauti, who is also an important Tensiomyography author and founder of the International Society of Tensiomyography.  Welcome to our stand at the Essen fair. See you there!

We are also proud to be part of official promotion video (check 2minute 21second):

Established in 1930, the Azerbaijan State Academy of Physical Culture and Sport is a non-profit public higher education institution located in Baku. The Azerbaijan State Academy of Physical Education and Sport offers courses and programs leading to officially recognized higher education degrees such as bachelor degrees in several areas of study. We are proud that the TMG S1 will be a part of an educational and research process and are looking forward to collaborating with Dr. Tahmina Taghi – Zada.

Seijas is a part of Dr. Ramon Cugat’s team from Barcelona. They have contributed another important publication about how TMG can help following treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. They have come to some important conclusions. Athletes with FAI participating in sports with great involvement of GM may benefit from arthroscopic treatment and its subsequent rehabilitation. TMG can be used as an objective measurement to monitor muscular improvements of the GM after surgery in these patients.

Another important publication was published by Pakosz and his colleagues.

They have concluded that the TMG system is an effective tool allowing us to detect and indicate the risk of muscle, ligament, and joint injuries. The TMG study can evaluate sports programs and give an opportunity to correct them. Using monthly compensating training

suggested by the TMG system, users can improve the parameters of lateral and functional symmetry and reduce the risk of injury.

The Tensiomyography workshop in Dublin was a success!

We have arranged the filming of the presentation for all of you who were not able to attend.

We are counting down the days until the launch of the ASMFA journal (Advances in skeletal muscle function assessment).  The primary aim of the journal is to publish research, reviews and reports on various aspects of skeletal muscle function assessment technologies and their application in injury prevention, recovery and rehabilitation of injuries, sports training and performance enhancement, occupational medicine and work ergonomics. The contributing authors are strongly encouraged to submit articles with emphasis on technology and its application in sports, exercising, injury prevention, rehabilitation, occupational medicine and clinical fields.

I welcome all the authors interested in publishing in the following addition to contact us!
