    TMG-74

  • TMG MEASUREMENT PROTOCOL

    Tensiomyography (TMG) is used for monitoring radial muscle belly displacement under isometric conditions. The displacement sensor is positioned perpendicularly to the tangential plane on the largest area above the muscle belly. The muscle belly displacement (enlargement) during contraction is observed and monitored.

    Experimental setup used to evoke and measure the biceps brachii (BB) isometric twitch contraction responses. The TMG sensor measures muscle radial displacement during twitch contractions induced by short electrical stimuli. The stimulating electrodes are placed directly onto the skin.

    Muscle contraction is elicited by single-twitch electrical stimuli. Two self-adhesive electrodes are placed around the TMG sensor. The anode is placed distally and the cathode proximally, 20-50 mm from the measuring point. Bipolar electrical stimulation consisted of a single DC pulse of 1 ms in duration.

    Contraction time (tc) as a time between 10% and 90% of the contraction

    Sustain time (ts) as a time between 50% of the contraction and 50% of the relaxation

    Relaxation time (tr) as a time between 90% and 50% of the relaxation

    Displacement (Dm) as maximal amplitude of the muscle contraction

      “In athletics, assessing an athlete’s recovery from an injury is essential.”

      gerryGerry Ramogida, Lead Performance Therapist, UK Athletics

      TMG offers a quick and convenient way to allow accurate assessment prior to training, assessment and response during training, as well as recovery at specified intervals post training. We get immediate feedback on the effect of treatment inputs in regards to the influence on tissue recruitment and stiffness. As valuable as TMG is in monitoring the progression of rehabilitation, it is equally valuable in measuring day to day athlete readiness to train, giving a quick insight into whether training sessions should be altered in regards to the intensity or volume. The biggest errors in athletics occur when the choice of the training stimulus exceeds the athlete’s readiness. TMG gives us an opportunity to avoid such errors”.

    • Problem

      Maximal running speed and acceleration are not progressing despite intense training. Precise training volume and timing to increase running speed may be wrongly determined.

      Solution

      Local muscle fatigue should be avoided in maximal acceleration development training. Muscles crucial to developing speed in a specific sport are monitored using the TMG™ Speed Development.

      TMG-29-noga
    • How it works?

      • measurement

        Identify muscles essential to your athlete’s speed development. Measure TMG Speed DevelopmentTM responses between each exercise set during speed development training.

      • analytics

        TMG Speed DevelopmentTM shows local muscle fatigue levels in individual muscles. Fast muscle fibre units cannot be completely activated in fatigued muscle.

      • action

        Training is optimized by detecting changes in muscle activation patterns that influence contraction velocity and muscle synchronization.

      • intervention

        This process sets a baseline for further maximal acceleration development trainings, allowing for safe, efficient and effective progression.

    • Problem

      Soft tissue and joint injury risk increases through lateral and functional asymmetries. Without a detailed analysis, targeted, corrective exercise strategies cannot be effectively implemented.

      Solution

      Successfully defining asymmetries in each individual athlete minimizes injury risk. The TMG – S2 is a unique tool for quick and accurate location of asymmetries in muscle groups.

      TMG-83
    • How it works?

      • measurement

        Different training and competition phases put varying loads on specific muscles. Injury-prone muscles need to be frequently assessed.

      • analytics

        Gain essential knowledge on muscle function and symmetry to develop individualized training approaches to correct each asymmetry problem.

      • action

        Design an individualized, targeted exercise regime by defining which muscles require selective exercises for strengthening or muscle activation.

      • intervention

        Use TMG Injury PreventionTM frequently to check if your exercises promote symmetric and synchronic muscle function to reduce injury risk.

    • Problem

      Your athlete’s maximal speed, explosiveness, endurance and flexibility are negatively affected by asymmetry and asynchrony. Failing to optimize and individualize training results in underperformance.

      Solution

      Symmetrical and synchronized muscle function is an essential prerequisite for optimal performance. The TMG™ Training Optimisation clearly identifies muscle pair asymmetry and asynchronous action in the kinetic chain.

      TMG-15
    • How it works?

      • measurement

        Muscles that lie along sports-specific kinetic chains are defined and measured individually and bilaterally.

      • analytics

        Asymmetric and asynchronous muscle function leads to deficiencies in kinetic chains; decreasing movement economy and increasing injury risk.

      • action

        TMG Training Optimisation™ assessments identify muscle dysfunctions to adjust training accordingly; activate, strengthen or release tension in specific muscles.

      • intervention

        The affected muscles in the kinetic chain can be assessed at any time during the training progress for further fine-tuning.
