Intro to EMG
This video offers an initial explanation of the EMG signal, as well as processing and analysis techniques.
System unboxing & setup
- Install the MR software.
- Plug in the EMG system.
- Learn how to assign sensors to muscles and start a measurement.
- For more detailed setup images, view the Ultium EMG Quick Start Guide.
EMG measurement preparation & setup
Learn how to:
- Place electrodes – (SENIAM is the resource for electrode placement mentioned in the video)
- Prepare the skin
- Check the EMG signal quality before measurement
Measurement
The video tutorials below explore common measurement needs, such as signal processing, normalization, and biofeedback training.
Tools for Biofeedback Training
- How to use biofeedback tools for real-time muscle activation training.
Signal Processing Tools
- How to use signal processing tools such as Amplitude Normalization, Smoothing, and more for real-time measurements and post processing.
- Refer to the ABC of EMG for education on which processing to use.
Amplitude Normalization Tutorial
- How to use an MVC (Maximum Voluntary Contraction) or other normalization activity to normalize EMG data.
Analysis
