How sEMG aids exercise selection, technique, and progression within rehabilitation

What key outputs do you focus on when you first introduce sEMG into a rehab process? How do those metrics directly influence your exercise selection and progression? sEMG has most improved my early stage rehabilitation outcomes by helping identify inefficient recruitment patterns and compensatory activation strategies. If these patterns are not addressed, they tend to slow progress or increase the risk of re-injury once the athlete returns to sport. Two key outputs I focus on early in rehabilitation are muscle amplitude—the magnitude of neural drive to the muscle (µV or %MVIC)—and co-activatio...
