Classics in Movement Science Chapter 12
Update: 2024-09-30
Description
This episode delves into the groundbreaking work of Kurt Wachholder, a pioneer in the study of voluntary movement. We'll explore his innovative use of electromyography to understand muscle activation patterns during movement, highlighting his discovery of the three-phase EMG pattern in agonist and antagonist muscles. We'll also discuss his insightful research on rhythmic movements, which revealed the crucial interplay of inertia, elastic forces, and muscle activity in generating efficient and coordinated movements. Join us as we uncover the lasting impact of Wachholder's research on our understanding of motor control.
