Abstract: |
This chapter presents fundamental aspects of the functioning of the body’s skeletal and smooth muscles, with an emphasis on factors influencing the design characteristics of electromyograph (EMG) amplifiers. Attention is given to the phenomena responsible for the appearance of the characteristic biphasic shape of the potentials recorded by the EMG. The various types of electrodes used in electromyography are described: surface electrodes, intramuscular electrodes, and single-fiber electrodes. The basic features of the motor unit action potential (MUAP) are analyzed. Subsequently, the structural units of a typical EMG system are outlined: amplification stages, integrator circuits, digital processing units, and the operation of electroneurography following stimulation is explained. Additionally, the types of potentials generated by smooth muscle cells are discussed, focusing on the primary recording device for smooth muscle electrical signals, the electrogastrograph (EGG).
