sEMG Static/Dynamic

CLA has a long record of success with sEMG. CLA co-founder, Dr. Christopher Kent conducted research at Palmer College utilizing sEMG back in the 1970's. In the mid-1980's, Drs. Kent and Gentempo innovated breakthrough applications and protocols for sEMG in chiropractic practice. The Insight sEMG technology is similar to the technology used in EKG/heart rate measurement machines. One primary difference is that the Insight sensors are 1,000 times more sensitive, since the paraspinal muscles generate less electrical activity [action potential] than the heart muscle. The sensitivity and accuracy of the Insight technology is unsurpassed! One of the most exciting technologies in contemporary chiropractic practice, sEMG measures baseline status and changes in the electrical activity of paraspinal muscles in order to quantify the muscular changes associated with vertebral subluxations. This makes it a powerful tool for tracking outcome assessment results from chiropractic care.
