electromyography
/ɪˌlɛktrə(ʊ)mʌɪˈɒɡrəfi
/noun [mass noun]
The recording of the electrical activity of muscle tissue, or its representation as a visual display or audible signal, using electrodes attached to the skin or inserted into the muscle.The ‘real’ resting of the respiratory muscles may be assessed by invasive evaluation of the respiratory muscle pressures or by electromyography....
- The technique of electromyography, the recording of electrical activity in active muscles, provided this link and remains an integral component of the contemporary functional morphologist's toolbox.
- However, these tests are not as diagnostic as electromyography or muscle biopsy.
Derivatives
electromyograph
- A magnetic resonance imaging scan, myelogram, or computed axial tomography scan, and sometimes, an electromyograph are performed to diagnose the specific problem.
- EEG, electromyograph, and electrooculograph recordings graphically depict REM and NREM sleep.
- The clinician used frontal placement for the surface electromyograph sensors.
electromyographic
- In another study, on children with pelvic floor dyssynergia, manometric and electromyographic biofeedback produced significantly greater improvement than conventional treatment (laxatives).
- At all end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure levels, time from onset of diaphragm electromyographic activity to inspiratory flow was similar with and without the servoventilator.
- The diagnosis is confirmed by the tensilon test, electromyographic studies and the finding of elevated acetylcholine receptor antibodies.
electromyographically
- Reflex activation of the pharyngeal musculature has been measured in awake children both electromyographically and using acoustic pharyngometry.
- Electromyographically triggered electric muscle stimulation (EMS) was evaluated in combination with conventional treatment in 69 consecutive postcerebrovascular accident outpatients.
- These case reports demonstrate the feasibility of using intramuscular electromyographically controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation for facilitating the upper limb motor recovery of chronic stroke survivors with mild to moderate hemiplegia.
