The interest in and use of electromyography (EMG) have grown
significantly in recent years. Researchers have found numerous
clinical and research uses for EMG, including biofeedback, gait
analysis, and clinical diagnosis for neuromuscular disorders. Yet,
until now, few sources have been available to help novices
understand the characteristics of the instrumentation, signal
analysis techniques, and appropriate EMG applications.
"Essentials of Electromyography" provides the perfect starting
point for those who plan to use EMG because it aids in the
comprehension of issues such as handling noise contamination to the
area, slope, and variability of the EMG signal. The text is also a
solid reference for practitioners who use EMG, including exercise
scientists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and motor
development specialists.
The book contains six detailed chapters discussing the anatomy
and physiology of muscle, bioelectricity, EMG tools, signal
processing, force-fatigue relations, and gait. Through Essentials
of Electromyography, readers will
-learn both fundamental and advanced concepts regarding the
principles of using EMG, including the use and abuse of electrical
recordings of muscle potentials;
-discover the physiological basis of EMG signals, which is
explained at an introductory level; and
-explore relevant topics such as electrode configuration,
advanced signal processing theory, and locations for extracting EMG
information.
The text provides a solid review of the relationship between
human anatomy and EMG as well as how EMG is applied to clinical
areas. It showcases over 160 figures and many qualitative
explanations to communicate the principles of EMG, the biophysical
basis of EMG, and the appropriate applications of EMG. It also
contains appendixes for readers with a deeper understanding of EMG
and stronger backgrounds in math; those readers will have the
opportunity to work through more detailed EMG calculations. The
book is heavily referenced and illustrated with diagrams showing
electrical circuits and the progression of electrical impulses.
"Essentials of Electromyography"--which is also available as an
e-book--will help readers learn how to apply EMG for biofeedback,
back pain, sport activities, and other uses. The text pulls
together information scattered in books and articles among the
numerous disciplines that use EMG as a tool. With its clear
presentation of the concepts and applications of EMG, "Essentials
of Electromyography" will prove to be a valuable text for
practitioners and students alike.
