Electromyography: Some Methodological Problems and Issues
Abstract
The purpose of this review is to discuss electromyography (EMG) and some of the problems and issues that are encountered during the recording and interpretation of EMG data. Recordings of electrical activity of muscles can be contaminated by interference from the electrical supply, mechanical artifacts, stimulus artifacts, and activity of other muscles. The advantages and disadvantages of surface electromyography and intramuscular EMG are compared and contrasted, and precautions to be taken when recording and interpreting these data are described. Surface electromyography is usually more susceptible to artifacts than is intramuscular EMG. It is possible, however, to make useful recordings with the surface electrodes from large superficial muscles if appropriate precautions are observed. Intramuscular electrodes, on the other hand, may be preferred for recording the activity from small peripheral muscles or muscles located deep within the body.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
