Users will be fitted
with electromyography (EMG) equipment to measure muscle forces, and cyber-gloves to measure kinematic features produced while users interact with multitouch systems.
This section details the background to the study of electricity in muscles and explains how electric potential difference within muscles can be measured
with electromyography (EMG).

with the help of
electromyography and found that all three basic variants of dumbbell presses (flat, decline and incline) have the potential to activate more pectoral muscle fibers than their barbell counterparts.

Brandon et al. (2013) assessed the reliability of a novel analysis system for Olympic weightlifting, comprising surface
electromyography (EMG) equipment (to measure EMG amplitude within a muscle), synchronised
with electrogoniometry (to measure joint angles), and a barbell position transducer (to measure the height of the barbell and thereby its displacement and linear velocity).
For patients
with chronic low back pain, clinicians and patients should initially select nonpharmacologic treatment
with exercise, multidisciplinary rehabilitation, acupuncture, mindfulness - based stress reduction (moderate - quality evidence), tai chi, yoga, motor control exercise, progressive relaxation,
