The use of TMG in the field of sports medicine diagnostics:

The athlete had constant problems with the inability to produce the same force on both biceps femoris muscles. The MRI showed there was something wrong in the region of L5 S1 vertebra.

By measuring the back hamstring at 12 different points (both legs) we could see which part of the back hamstring muscle was non-functional (on the 3D graph we can see that in a particular region (points 8,9,10 and 11) the activation is much lower than in the healthy region (points 1 to 7). From the TMG measurement we could conclude that the distal-lateral side of biceps femoris had a lower activation level and with this information we could determine that the vertebra nerve was affected exactly in the L5 S1 region.

On the 3D graphs we can see the results of the initial measurement taken on July 17th and the second measurement taken after the first phase of therapy on September 4th of the same year. We can see the improvement of the affected region (the level of the points from 8 through 11 is a little bit higher).

This case is an example of the complementary use of TMG with other modern diagnostic methods.
