Our recently developed M-wave module is now available. The M-wave module measures the electrical activity of muscles after electrostimulation. In combination with the TMG system, it provides additional information on muscle status and ratio between the quality of the stimulated muscle fibers (M-wave) and their ability to contract (TMG). This enables us to monitor the progression of muscle disorders, physical fitness, etc. The first module has already been sent to the Kokushikan University in Japan where it will be used in combination with TMG and ‪MC.‬‬ Contact us for more information.

We have visited the FC Bayern Munich during their preparations in order to conduct TMG Team measurements that have been used as a basis for the optimization of their training protocols. Moreover, detailed muscle profiles have also been used on an individual level to reduce functional and lateral asymmetries and consequently prevent muscle injuries.

Tianjin Sports Institute at the elite Tianjin University of Sport has implemented the TMG S1 System in their research efforts in the field of sports science and rehabilitation optimization. Furthermore, TMG diagnostics will also be used to refine training protocols of the elite sportsmen from the region.

We invite you to visit us at the Isokinetic Conference (Return to Play 2016) that will be held in London between the 9th and 11th of April. Our traditional presence at Isokinetic events will be extended this spring as we will not only participate as sponsors and exhibitors, but will also be actively engaged in the scientific part of the conference with presentations and a TMG workshop. As the conference will be dedicated to return to play (RTP) strategies, we will showcase the strengths of TMG diagnostics in the field of RTP optimization. You can find additional information at the conference’s website.

Return to play (RTP) has recently gained a lot of attention due to some shocking statistics, such as that only 55% of athletes return to competitive sports following an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (Ardern, CL et al, BJSM 2014). In the end, it is all about Return to Play and the only question doctors, players and teams seem to care about is “when will the player be back on the field safely?”. However, the main problem is that RTP decisions are in most cases still based on prediction and not on the basis of muscle status in a given time. The main reason for that is that imaging and similar methods for the diagnostics of structural muscle injuries do not provide useful information in later stages when muscle structure recovers, while muscle function stays impaired. As a consequence, athletes are exposed to high loads too early, which in most cases leads to re-injury. That is why more functional tests such as TMG should be included in RTP protocols, as only then it can be precisely determined when a certain muscle can be re-exposed to maximal loads. You can learn more about the benefits of TMG for RTP at our workshop at the Isokinetic Conference that will be held in the beginning of April in London.
