DETAILS

EMG is designed for precise monitoring and recording of the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles.

Liv EMG with wireless active electrodes offer full portability and real-time display and analysis options. Technologically advanced yet cost effective EMG data capture systems with capabilities is the system of choice for clinical and research applications.

Features:

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic technique used to evaluate and record the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. It involves the placement of small electrodes on the skin or through needle insertion into the muscles to detect and measure the electrical signals generated during muscle contraction and relaxation. EMG has a wide range of applications in medicine, sports science, and rehabilitation.

Applications of EMG:

Clinical diagnosis: EMG is commonly used in clinical settings to assess and diagnose neuromuscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy, peripheral nerve injuries, motor neuron diseases, and myopathies. It helps in evaluating the function and integrity of muscles and the communication between nerves and muscles.
Rehabilitation and physical therapy: EMG is utilized in rehabilitation and physical therapy to assess muscle activation patterns, muscle strength imbalances, and to guide exercise and neuromuscular re-education programs. It aids in monitoring progress and optimizing treatment strategies.
Sports science and biomechanics: EMG is employed in sports science and biomechanics research to analyze muscle activation patterns during specific movements or sports activities. It provides insights into muscle recruitment, coordination, and muscle fatigue, aiding in optimizing training protocols and injury prevention strategies.
Prosthetics and robotics: EMG can be utilized in prosthetics and robotics to develop interfaces that allow individuals to control artificial limbs or robotic devices using their muscle signals. It enables individuals with limb loss or motor impairments to regain functional movement.

Advantages of EMG:

Direct assessment of muscle function: EMG provides a direct assessment of muscle function by measuring the electrical activity generated during muscle contraction. It offers valuable information about muscle activation patterns, timing, and coordination.
Objective and quantitative measurements: EMG provides objective and quantitative measurements of muscle activity, allowing for precise evaluation and comparison of muscle function. It can quantify parameters such as muscle strength, fatigue, and timing of muscle activation.
Real-time feedback: EMG can be used to provide real-time feedback during rehabilitation or training sessions. This feedback helps individuals learn proper muscle activation techniques, improve motor control, and optimize performance.
Non-invasive option available: EMG can be performed using surface electrodes placed on the skin, making it a non-invasive procedure in many cases. This reduces discomfort and eliminates the risk associated with needle insertion into the muscles.
