Muscle Activation of Lower Limbs and Body Sway in Soccer Kicks

Abstract

A new rehabilitation method by using virtual sport systems is proposed. In this paper, we focus on the soccer as the virtual sport. We measure the EMG, the body sway and the foot pressure under the conditions of the amplitude, the direction and the velocity. From experimental results, we show the applicability of he soccer kick to the strengthening exercise of muscles and the standing balance exercise.
