Surface electrodes are applied to the skin to collect muscle activity data. This data is then synchronized with the kinematic data so that the muscle activity patterns can be analyzed for each phase of gait. The use of fine wire electrodes that are inserted with a needle is not routine and is done only when requested by the referring physician.
