Comparing needle and surface sensors for leg muscle signals
This study compares two ways of measuring muscle signals in the front of your lower leg. The goal is to see if a simple surface sensor gives the same results as a needle sensor, which could make future tests easier and less painful.

This study uses sensors on the calf muscles to measure how they work during movement. It may help researchers understand normal muscle function in healthy young adults.
This study tests different ways to help healthy young adults learn how to activate their muscles. It aims to see which learning technique works best for improving muscle control.
This study tests a new sensor and cable that monitors muscle response during procedures where you are given medication to temporarily relax your muscles (paralytic). It helps doctors make sure the medication is working properly and wears off safely.
This trial checks if a sensor that measures muscle tiredness works reliably in teenagers who are physically active. If you play sports or dance regularly, your participation could help improve how we understand muscle fatigue.
This study measures how nerves communicate with muscles, using recordings and gels. It aims to spot early, personalized signs of conditions like ALS and related diseases, and to improve diagnosis.
This study tests a device that records muscle activity (EMG) in healthy volunteers and critically ill patients in the ICU. It aims to learn how well the device works in different groups, which could help monitor muscle function in the future.
