10.recording and Analysis of Emg

The document describes recording EMG signals using surface or needle electrodes. Electromyography measures the electrical activity of muscles by detecting tiny voltage changes on the skin that occur when muscles contract or relax. The summary is: 1) EMG signals are recorded from skeletal muscles using surface or needle electrodes to detect action potentials generated during muscle contraction. 2) The EMG signal is a summation of individual motor unit action potentials and provides an indication of muscle activity. 3) EMG signals are amplified, filtered, and analyzed to evaluate muscle health and activity levels.
