Micro-EMG: A Novel Multi-electrode System for Intramuscular Imaging

Micro-EMG: A Novel Multi-electrode System for Intramuscular Imaging of Human Motor Units


Sponsor

Newcastle University

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Apr 26, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this small-scale exploratory study is to bridge the knowledge gap between the bench testing and the design of potential future confirmative studies. Identifying and evaluating MicroEMG measurement parameters in this exploratory manner is a necessary step to evaluate its usability and design, and determine whether the microEMG system may be suitable for in-house use after further confirmative testing.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria1

  • For each of the five groups, six participants will be recruited, adding up to a total of 30 participants.

Exclusion Criteria6

  • cardiac pacemakers or defibrillator implants.
  • alternative neurological disorders likely to affect the results of an EMG examination.
  • lymphedema or dialysis fistula in the body region to be studied with EMG.
