A Study Of Three-Dimensional Motion Capture And Dynamic Electromyography Of Wrist Motion In Fencers

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether three-dimensional motion capture technology and dynamic electromyography (EMG), when used to study attack moves in fencers, reveal patterns of upper extremity motion that may correlate with the development of clinically relevant pathology.
