<\/a>In his speech, Dr. Gy\u00f6rgy Sz\u0151ke recalled that the Department of Orthopaedics is Hungary\u2019s largest centre for children with musculoskeletal disorders. The gait analysis laboratory operating there is able to map and pattern movement, and thus assist surgeons to plan operations. The special muscle activity measurement device donated by T\u0130KA is a wonderful addition to the current set of equipment in the laboratory and makes it possible to measure the activity of dysfunctional muscles. Thus, it will be easier to plan operations more precisely, and this modern tool helps to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, that is, the improvement in muscle activity is visible, he added. With the help of the wireless EMG, a dynamic EMG recording can be made of ten muscles at the same time, meaning that the activity of the muscles examined by electrodes can be judged during walking. Dr. Gy\u00f6rgy Sz\u0151ke said he was honoured to receive the donation in the presence and with the support of the wife of the President of Turkey, who is well-known for her active social involvement in assisting needy and sick children and their families.<\/p>\nDuring the event, a short film was presented about the Kenyan healthcare programme implemented in Turkish-Hungarian cooperation, in which 81 physicians shared their experiences with locals in order to improve healthcare services in the African country.
