Electromyography is a commonly used method to determine relative effort and neuromuscular drive to skeletal muscle. A limitation of the interpretation of EMG within the literature is the many methods used to determine the intensity of muscle activation. In the current study, ten healthy young adults performed a level walking task while EMG was recorded from the tibialis anterior, medial gastroc...

OBJECTIVE Cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (cVEMPs) are short-latency electromyogram (EMG) evoked by high-level acoustic stimuli recorded from the activated sternocleidomastoid muscle and used to evaluate otolith organ function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aging on the cVEMP and on the sternocleidomastoid muscle EMG level. DESIGN A cross-sectional...

The Electromyography (EMG) is a very important biomedical signal and can be used for verity of applications in clinical or biomedical field. This signal is used to detect abnormal muscle activities like impaired nourishment of an organ or part of body, inflammation of muscles, pinched nerves and peripheral nerve damages etc. The EMG signal is controlled by nervous system and is dependent on the...

Thirty patients in whom others found equivocal plantar reflexes were studied clinically and electromyographically (EMG-og flexor hallucis brevis, extensor hallucis longus, and tibialis anterior), during mechanical stimulation of the sole. Bias of recording or interpretation of EMG was excluded. The study was repeated after one week; the EMG outcome was reproducible in 26 patients (87%). Of thes...

Electromyogpraphic endotracheal tube (EMG tube) is a new device used to monitor recurrent laryngeal nerve integrity during thyroid surgery. The EMG tube has 2 pairs of electrodes on the surface of silicon-based tube reached to inner space of tube cuff. We experienced an unusual endotracheal tube-related problem from the distinct structural feature of the EMG tube. In this case, we intubated a p...

Background: Triple Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring (IONM) should be considered the standard of care (SOC) for performing cervical surgery Ossification Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL). IONM’s three modalities and their alerts include; Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SEP: =/> 50% amplitude loss; =/>10% latency loss), Motor (MEP: 70% =/>10-15% Electromyography (loss E...
