Surface EMG techniques and associated feedback displays can make treating the patient more efficient. For example, sEMG can help identify inappropriate muscle substitution patterns and thus refine therapeutic exercise prescription. Motor copy templates can be used to assist in learning new recruitment patterns. Surface Electromyography (SEMG) monitoring provides objective documentation trail of the impact of the physical therapy on muscle function, thus allowing the therapist to demonstrate gains both to the patient and third party payer. SEMG can have a role in postural assessment and training. When used as at training tool, SEMG can help teach the patient how to use their body and/or muscles as part of rehabilitation, relaxation and biofeedback. This introduction to the methods described by Glenn Kasman & Jeff Cram shows how SEMG biofeedback techniques can be utilized for assessment and training. The class covers the use of techniques and their associated feedback displays and how the SEMG measures can be used as part of the treatment of specific conditions for which there is evidence-based research.
