Define: EMG

Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the activation signal of muscles. EMG is performed using an instrument called an electromyograph, to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyograph detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells when these cells are both mechanically active and at rest. The signals can be analyzed in order to detect medical abnormalities or analyze the biomechanics of human or animal movement.
