Research participants wanted for JCU Physiotherapy Honours project

The project uses real time ultrasound imaging and new technology developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to see if this makes measurements of muscles more precise.

You will be taught to activate muscles in your abdomen and low back and we will measure them using ultrasound. Participation in the project should take about 90 minutes of your time. We are particularly interested to see if this technology will help novice clinicians to take more accurate measurements.
