The utility of electromyography and mechanomyography for assessing neuromuscular function: a noninvasive approach

Moh H Malek et al. Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 2012 Feb.

Abstract

This article introduces the utility of electromyography (EMG) and mechanomyography (MMG) for the assessment of neuromuscular function, and discusses the interpretation of the EMG and MMG signals for various exercise perturbations. The results of these studies suggest that the use of EMG and MMG to determine muscle fatigue is robust. Future studies with clinical populations are needed, however, to determine the optimal use of EMG and/or MMG for assessing muscle function in rehabilitative settings.
