Better electrode placement could sharpen stroke rehab insights

This study aims to validate new guidelines for placing surface EMG electrodes on the calf muscles of people who have had a stroke. Researchers will compare the new EPICA guidelines with standard SENIAM guidelines using ultrasound to see which placement gives more accurate muscle activity readings. Twenty stroke survivors will participate, and some will also walk or do heel raises to test signal quality. The goal is to improve how muscle function is measured during rehabilitation.
