EMG descriptors

This powerpoint presentation contains 11 animations. Slide 1 illustrates the generation of the muscle fiber action potential and how it contributes to the generation of electromyographic signals. Slides 2-3 illustrate why two electrodes are commonly used to record...

Action potential propagation in space and time

Understanding how action potential propagation in muscle fibres can be assessed from surface EMG This material was prepared with the goal of illustrating how surface EMGs convey information on the propagation of action potentials.  Analogy is made to the wave...
