Clinical Applications of Spectral Analysis of EMG

  • Conference paper
Electromyography and Evoked Potentials

Part of the book series: Advances in Applied Neurological Sciences ((NEUROLOGICAL,volume 1))

Abstract

Spectrum analysis of EMG can be done in two ways. One is to use some spectral parameter as the output quantity — the most common technique — and the other is to use mathematical modelling with identification of parameters having a clear physiological meaning. In this communication, we will demonstrate applications covering both aspects of spectral analysis of clinical EMG:

  1. a)

    Interpretation of changes in children’s EMG during growth,

  2. b)

    Determination of spectral parameters in neurogenic and myogenic diseases.
