Antonio Robustelli joins Bruce Malkinson to discuss using plantar pressure mapping, like XSENSOR's Intelligent Insoles, and complementing it with Surface Electromyography (*sEMG*) to enhance athlete assessment and profiling.

**Key Takeaways from Listening to This Podcast:**

1. **Learn – ***The rationale for pairing plantar pressure mapping and sEMG and how this can improve the evaluation of movement mechanics and injury risk assessment.*
2. **Understand – ***The role of plantar pressure mapping, when used in tandem with sEMG, in augmenting the neuromuscular profile, providing invaluable human performance data.*
3. **Experience – ***Practically using plantar pressure mapping and sEMG hardware and software to measure and analyze pressure and muscle activity data.*

**Speakers:**
