What is Electromyography and How is it Used?
Surface electromyography (EMG), otherwise known as kinesiological EMG, is a technique used for measuring and evaluating the electrical signals emanating from skeletal muscles. It works by sensing the myoelectric signal produced from small electrical currents generated by motor unit action potentials, or the exchange of ions across the muscle membranes, with the help of electrodes positioned over the muscle(s) of interest. The overall change in membrane voltage, which is represented by the continuous summation of motor unit action potentials, can be used to answer questions concerning muscle activation patterns and coordination.
The five key questions answered by kinesiological EMG are:
- Is the muscle active?
- Is the muscle more/less active?
- When is the muscle on/off?
- How active is the muscle?
- Does the muscle fatigue?
These questions are very important in clinical use as they can assist in determining the proper course of action for a patient.
Additionally, since EMG is typically generalized to represent how the body is choosing to use a muscle for a given task, real-time EMG can be used for biofeedback applications to help detect neuromuscular abnormalities, better understand muscle tension in real-time, and teach subjects whether they are properly using their muscles.
