Warning! All suggested assessment criteria on page 14-16 is not necessarily
the case for every imaginable treatment. Given examples of how you should
analise the statistical results cannot be considered as complete or always true,
the aim is to give the initial idea and a point of reference for the beginners in
EMG analysis. Please seek the advice among specialists.
NeuroTrac
Peak value [µV] - This is the maximal muscle
contraction over the session. This information is less
important for the overall analysis.
Work Average deviation [µV] - The average deviation
in microvolts of the work periods of the session, it
excludes the first second of each work portion.
Generally the deviation means the average differences
between EMG readings.
If a muscle shakes and contracts spasmodically, the
EMG graph is sharp and wavy (high EMG deviation). If
the muscle is not tired and in good shape, it doesn't
tremble and stays firm in contraction, the EMG graph
will be smother (low EMG deviation).
Assessment: the good progress is when Work
Deviation % value is getting smaller and smaller each
day.
Rest Average deviation [µV] - The average deviation
in microvolts of the rest periods of the session, it
excludes the first second of each rest portion.
Generally the high Rest average deviation means
overstimulated or overtrained muscle or the body has
difficulties in controlling the muscle because of the
damage of the motor neurons.
Assessment: the good progress is when Rest
Deviation % value is getting smaller and smaller each
day.
