42The <strong>MP</strong> System offers many options for recording surface,needle and fine wire EMG. Record and analyze generalmuscle strength and fatigue or muscle twitch data froma variety of body locations. Alternatively, combine EMGrecording channels with other data channels to displaymuscle contraction simultaneously with other physiologicalevents. Integrate and/or filter raw EMG data duringrecording for immediate analysis. Correlate muscleactivity with data from other sources, such as forceplates, goniometers, and motion analysis equipment.Spike counting and frequency analysis tools are availablefor post-acquisition analysis.Features• Median & Mean Frequency Analysis• EMG Power Spectrum Analysis• Integrated (RMS) EMG• EMG & Force• Active Electrodes & Fine Wire EMG• Automatic Spike Counting & Analysis• Histogram Analysis• Facial EMG & Startle Response• Interface with Imaging Equipment• Single-fiber EMG• Motor Unit Action PotentialSee also — Remote Monitoring (page 46) and Biomechanics(page 44) applicationsEMGMedian & Mean FrequencyAnalysisAnalysis of EMG signals in the frequency domain canprovide useful insight into the nature of the EMG data.The frequency spectrum data may be used to generateother measures associated with EMG frequency analysis.Select an area of EMG data and use the Fast FourierTransform function to perform a linear magnitude FFTon the selected data, then integrate the result todetermine the median and mean frequency.AcqKnowledge can be used to calculate these parametersafter the EMG data has been collected.EMG Power Spectrum AnalysisA common tool for investigating the EMG is the PowerSpectrum Density (PSD). Use AcqKnowledge tocompare responses from one part of the recording tothe next. Calculate the PSD by squaring the linearFFT magnitude.Integrated (RMS) EMG Q40Calculate the integrated EMG envelope on- and off-line.The integration function incorporates an RMS (RootMean Square) feature set to operate over a user-specified
