Fun days in the lab!
Great seeing the progress of these two in setting up 3D ultrasound imaging. This will be used for their projects: Daan De Vlieger on muscle assessment in stroke patients and Liese Bosman in 3D muscle shapes of contracting muscles!

Very happy with the first paper out of the Brussels Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab!
We provide evidence that the #SENIAM #EMG guidelines are not appropriate for the LG and SOL muscles and that muscle-tendon decoupling needs to be considered!

Fish suck... but species that feed on algae suck differently! 🐟 A new publication in Communications Biology by #UAFunMorph members Jana De Ridder, Peter Aerts, and Sam Van Wassenbergh, demonstrates how head motion patterns for generating suction are finetuned to the species' main diets.
