Monograph: Volume conduction: Extracellular waveform generation in theory and practice-Article

Article

Pdf Summary

This monograph explores the generation of extracellular waveforms and the theory of volume conduction in electromyography (EMG). It highlights the importance of considering waveform morphology and discharge rate/rhythm in waveform analysis. The document discusses various interactions between electrodes and muscle tissue that can lead to different waveform configurations. It also explains the transformations that can occur in innervated and denervated tissue. The authors provide a comprehensive understanding of volume conduction theory and its practical implications in EMG waveform analysis. They emphasize the importance of careful waveform interpretation and analysis for accurate clinical outcomes.
