The use of TMG in the monitoring of the rehabilitation process after muscle injury (the muscle was slightly pulled)

Ideally, we have the results of the TMG measurement taken at some point before an injury occurred– this was the case in the following example. If we do not have a reference TMG measurement of the muscle before the injury, we can measure the same muscle on the other side of the body for reference. The graph bellow demonstrates how in an actual case of an injured muscle, the changes in muscle properties can be precisely measured with the use of the TMG method. Such detailed and accurate information can be of great importance in the recovery process. The TMG muscle response curve shows the “reanimation” of the muscle and its improvement in activation and structure of activation over a period of twelve days.

The TMG method is used for the monitoring of the rehabilitation process through the following steps:

1. TMG measurements of the muscle are obtained before surgery or injury
2. the changes in muscle properties are monitored and recorded
3. the findings are used during the rehabilitation process and physiotherapy
