Surface EMG (SEMG): A Synopsis

Abstract

Surface electromyography is an electrophysiological modality assessing the electrical activity of skeletal musculature. The Sella protocol is a structured assessment protocol, including static muscle assessment and dynamic muscle assessment, utilizing standardized electrode placements, conditions, and movements during assessment. This protocol can serve as a basis for designing biofeedback-assisted rehabilitation of patients with chronic pain and other musculoskeletal problems. The protocol can also be applied in forensic evaluations and in optimal performance settings.
