🧠 Same Force. Different Neural Strategies.

How can children produce a steady grip force but still experience difficulties with skilled movement?

This is one of the questions we'll be exploring in our upcoming EMG Advances in Neurophysiology webinar!

🎙️ Talk: Less Flexible, Not Weaker: Motor Unit Firing in Children with DCD

We're excited to welcome Dr. Maaike Esselaar, a postdoctoral researcher at Universität des Saarlandes - Saarland University and Manchester Metropolitan University who will share how High-Density EMG (HDsEMG) is helping researchers look beyond muscle strength to better understand the neural control of movement.

Using Delsys HD-EMG technology, Maaike's research examines individual motor-unit firing strategies during low-force grip contractions in children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).

💡 Why does this matter?

The ability to produce the same force doesn't necessarily mean the nervous system achieves it in the same way. By examining motor-unit behavior, researchers can uncover differences in neuromuscular control that traditional strength assessments may overlook.

Maaike will also explore how these techniques could be applied to other clinical populations, including individuals with peripheral neuropathy, where changes in motor-unit behavior may influence everyday activities such as driving.

With a background spanning motor neuroscience, biomechanics, EEG, and HD-EMG, Maaike brings a multidisciplinary perspective to understanding how the nervous system controls movement across developmental and clinical populations.

🔬 Join us to discover how advances in EMG decomposition are opening new opportunities to investigate motor control, coordination, and neuromuscular function.

🧠 EMG Advances in Neurophysiology | Speaker Announcement

How does strength training change the way our nervous system activates muscles?

Join us for our upcoming webinar featuring Dr. Dawson Kidgell, Associate Professor of Exercise Physiology at Monash University h University, as we explore how High-Density EMG (HDsEMG) can provide new insights into the neural adaptations associated with resistance training.

🎙️ Talk: From Neural Drive to Motor-Unit Output: Using dEMG to Understand the Neural Adaptations to Strength Training

🔍 What you'll discover:

Drawing on research involving over 6,000 motor-unit observations, Dr. Kidgell will share findings comparing resistance-trained and untrained individuals, highlighting differences in motor-unit discharge rates and variability across contraction intensities.

Discover how combining motor-unit behavior with measures of corticospinal excitability can help us better understand the neural mechanisms contributing to human strength and performance.

🎓 About the Speaker:

Dr. Dawson Kidgell is an Associate Professor of Exercise Physiology and Director of the Exercise Neuroplasticity Research Unit at Monash University. His research explores how the nervous system adapts to exercise, using techniques including transcranial magnetic stimulation and high-density EMG decomposition to investigate neural adaptations from the cortex to individual motor units.

🔬 Ready to explore the next generation of neurophysiology research?

Join us to discover how advances in EMG are helping bridge the gap between neural drive, motor-unit behavior, and functional performance.

✈️ We are heading to New Delhi for the World Physiotherapy AWP Regional Conference 2026!

🩼 As physiotherapy continues to evolve, we believe muscle assessment should go beyond observation. Giving clinicians the tools to objectively quantify how muscles activate, coordinate and respond throughout rehabilitation.

At , we’ll be showcasing the latest advancements of , helping make EMG data more accessible, interpretable and actionable for physiotherapists. 🏋‍♂️ 📈

But technology is only part of the equation. Education is essential to turning better data into better understanding.

We’re proud to continue supporting the Indian physiotherapy community through accessible EMG education, hands-on learning and the tools needed to confidently integrate muscle measurement into practice.

📍 New Delhi, India
📅 September 26–27, 2026

🤝 Come meet the Delsys team and discover how we’re helping bring greater quantification to muscle assessment.

🤔 What makes practitioners decide to incorporate EMG into their practice?

🏋‍♂️ For Mike Lancaster, it started with a desire to understand how athletes produce force from a neural perspective.

How does neural signaling differ bilaterally, and how does it change post-injury and throughout the course of rehabilitation? These are the questions that EMG helps to answer.

💪 What can EMG amplitude tell us about muscle performance?

Amplitude analysis helps quantify how much a muscle is activated during movement, providing valuable insight into muscle recruitment, asymmetries, compensation strategies, and changes over time.

From identifying activation deficits during rehab to comparing muscle demands across exercises or interventions, EMG amplitude can help turn muscle activity into actionable insights for rehabilitation and performance. 📊
