@docgoble At 0:03 in the video, St. Brown uses his motor cortex when making his change in direction towards the end zone. The motor cortex helps decide the speed and magnitude of the movement, which has to be perfect in order to sell the move and get a step on the defender.
@docgoble Rahm uses his visual sensory system to estimate the distance of the shot, as well as interpreting the path of the green. This allows him to hit with the appropriate force, knowing how far the ball needs to go and how it needs to travel.
@Taylor11Renee Nice post! In a physical therapy environment, I can see EMG being especially useful even beyond diagnostics. Therapists could more accurately determine which muscle are used and not used, allowing them to cue better during exercises.
@JamieGiese49241 Really a great example of motor control. The thing that always impresses me most about throwing events is the required timing and sequence needed. If one muscle contraction or nerve signal is a little late, it throws off the whole thing.
Iβm taking #EXS3030@oaklanduSHS with @DocGoble because I plan to use an understanding of motor control to help promote rehabilitation and performance among patients and athletes.
