  • Mueller Hg80 Tennis Elbow Brace - highly reviewed in recovery aspects, increases risk of shoulder pain

  • Recovery Pulse - full arm sleeve, same idea just doesn't work

  • Comfier Heated Knee Brace Wrap with Massage, Vibration Knee Massager with Heat - want to replicate for forearm

When the button is clicked once more the Arduino board turns off the motors and stops the massage balls from rotating.

  • Muscle fibers (myofilaments) held together by sarcomeres (composed of the protein filaments actin and myosin) like a coil or a spring

    • Muscle Development: Muscle fibers damaged due to overload are healed through hypertrophy (muscle fibers increasing in size) and hyperplasia (number of muscle fibers increasing

      • Can also adapt by increasing capillary density for greater oxygenation which increases mitochondrial density and improves aerobic capacity in the muscles
