Introduction & Definition
阻塞密度How to use this booklet This first edition of "The ABC of EMG" is primarily a short teaching
manual concerned with recapitulating selected scientific concepts as
well as general contents and processes of the experimental technique.
This booklet is not intended to replace the fundamental EMG literature
(see chapter “Recommended EMG Books”, which is also used as ref-
erence source for citations), especially when concerned with more ex-
perience leading to an increased complexity of the problems tackled.
The main intention is to simplify the first steps in the use of EMG as
research and evaluation tool and “get started”. It tries to overview and
summarize the basic knowledge needed to apply and perform mean-
ingful EMG setups and concentrates on practical questions and solu-
“..is the study of muscle function through the inquiry
of the electrical signal the muscles emanate.”Fig.1: A fundamental EMG text book. Basmajian&DeLuca: Mus-cles Alive (2)
Use and Benefits of EMG
Wide spread use of EMG
tool Typical benefits of EMG
The use of EMG starts with the basic question: “What are the muscles doing?”
Typical benefits are:
• EMG allows to directly “look” into the muscle
• It allows measurement of muscular performance

配方• Helps in decision making both before/after surgery• Documents treatment and training regimes
• Helps patients to “find” and train their muscles
• Allows analysis to improve sports activities
• Detects muscle response in ergonomic studies
