Macro EMG, a new recording technique.
نویسنده
چکیده
A new electromyographic technique for the study of the motor unit is described. A modified single fibre EMG electrode is used. The electrical activity obtained by the electrode shaft during voluntary muscle contraction is averaged after triggering from a single muscle fibre action potential and the contribution from one motor unit is thus extracted. This "Macro EMG" signal gives information about the whole motor unit in contrast to the regional or focal electrical activity measured by conventional or single fibre EMG recordings, respectively.

Aanem Minimonograph Macro Electromyography, an Update
The macro electromyography method was developed in the 1980s. Since then, technical modifications have been made, and a number of conditions have been explored. This study is a methodological introduction and an update of findings in some nerve–muscle disorders. The spike component of a motor unit potential (MUP) recorded by a concentric or monopolar needle electromyography (EMG) electrode is g...
متن کاملMacro EMG in healthy subjects of different ages.
The findings of the recently developed technique of Macro EMG in healthy subjects of different ages are described. The characteristics of the Macro motor unit potential which probably reflects the relative size of the whole motor unit are presented together with suggested normal data for the three muscles studied. An increase in size of the Macro motor unit potential was found with age, particu...

Electromyography (EMG) signal is the muscle electrical activity. Electromyography is a technique for detecting and recording the electrical potential generated by muscle cells. This EMG signals are used in medical professionals to determine specific disorders. This paper basically deals with the analysis of different electromyography signals (NOR & MYO). In this paper, new method for classifica...

Objectives: To study the correlation between anatomical parameters and EMG signals by means of simulations. Methods: A mathematical model of the electrical activity from muscle ®bres and motor units has been developed. The electrical ®elds around the muscle ®bres are simulated using a line source model. The model permits the simulation of single muscle ®bre action potentials obtained by SFEMG, ...
