Paola Contessa, technical support specialist and research scientist for Delsys Inc., demonstrates the new wireless electromyography system on Stephen F. Austin State University junior kinesiology major Alvaro Quintanilla as part of the faculty member and student training recently implemented in SFA’s kinesiology and health science department. The wireless EMG system is equipped with sensors that can be placed on muscles to act as antennas measuring the electrical output of the functioning muscles. In her demonstration, Contessa measured the muscle activity of Quintanilla’s biceps as he moved his arm up and down. The department acquired the new equipment and technology to help better educate students, and began to acquire instrumentation that faculty members and graduate students need to conduct musculoskeletal and neuromechanics research and exercise biochemistry research.
