Physios often use surface electromyography (sEMG) studies to guide exercise selection.
But can sEMG really tell us which exercises best target the gluteal muscles?
A recent study suggests the answer may not be as straightforward as many clinicians assume.
In this free Review, @trpollen unpacks the research, explains its key limitations, and highlights what clinicians should consider when interpreting sEMG findings.

Is AI going to replace us all? I ran a little experiment to see how well ChatGPT could grade student essays, and the results surprised me! Let’s just say I may never grade papers the same way again...

I wouldn't be the scholar (nor person) I am today were it not for the tutelage of my master's advisor, Dr. Steven Stanhope. Though we lost Steven in August, his memory lives on in all whose lives he touched. Thanks to @JBiomech for allowing us to pay homage with this In Memoriam.

Absolutely awesome evening spent recording the latest episode with @TeddyWillsey and @trpollen for the @PhysioNetwork 🎧
I was absolutely hooked and learnt so much from these guys! Thank you for your time chaps. Our listeners are in for a real treat! #physio #podcast
Probably gonna frame this one for the office. Nice to know we're making a difference!
Notes like these just make our day! All credit to @trpollen as he designed and curated our "Developing the Interprofessional Team" course, I just implement it 😜 So important for our future clinicians to work across disciplines and understand one another's roles/training.
