Evaluation
A typical test consists
of the following steps:
1. The electrodes and footswitches or foot markers
are placed on the patient. A RESTING trial is performed
(the EMG data is digitized by an A/D in a PC) followed
by a MAXIMUM EFFORT run for each muscle (or group) associated
with an electrode. The WALKING or other trials can then
be performed.
2. The EMG Analyzer Software is used to quantify
the data and plot the raw or integrated EMG and Gait
Parameters. The integrated EMG is normalized to the
Maximum Effort (or maximum during gait if not available).
3. The EMG and Gait Parameters from the patient
are compared with Normal data.
The NORMAL data was obtained
from two sources:
(1) Adult Wire EMG data and Adult Footswitch data

Building 800, Room 33
7601 E. Imperial Hwy.

(2) Child Surface EMG data and Child Footswitch data

Upper Extremity tests are performed with equal ease. Clinical
Interpretation is only provided for the Lower Extremity
muscles during walking. All interpretations are based
upon cyclical activities.
