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
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.
- patients taking clotting inhibitor (such as warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants).
- clotting disorder (such as haemophilia or low platelets).
- participants unable to consent in English where a translator is not available.
