RS-EMG-SA-STIM: Small Animal EMG System with Stimulation

The RS-EMG-SA-STIM is built specifically for EMG applications and includes integrated stimulation for evoked responses or nerve activation. It provides 4-8 channels for EMG or mixed EMG/ECG recordings and is optimized for rodent and other small-animal research.

SKU RS-EMG-SA-2 Categories EMG, System Tags EMG, System

Overview

The RS-EMG-SA-STIM is a flexible, expandable system for small-animal EMG research. Electromyography (EMG) measures muscle electrical activity, supporting studies of motor control, reflexes, fatigue, and evoked responses. The system provides precise recording and reliable stimulation, with 2 BNC, 2 DIN, and 2 iWire inputs for easy expansion with additional channels or sensors.

Analysis

Time Domain Analysis

Root Mean Square (RMS)
- Regarded as the most common method for assessing the amplitude of the EMG signal, as it offers a measure of the signal’s power and generates a waveform that is easy to analyze
Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC)
- A widely used measure of muscle strength in research. It represents the greatest force a person can voluntarily produce, reflecting their maximum effort
(Average) Rectified EMG Data
- For determining the overall strength of the neural drive to the muscle and is correlated with both the strength of muscle contraction and its output
Threshold
- For the detection of muscle activity timing in EMG signals
Teager-Kaiser
- Measures the amount of energy in an EMG signal
Area Under The Curve
- For determining the compound motor action potential (CMAP) and other measurements
Envelope EMG Data
- A classic method of measuring muscle contraction
Filtering
- User controlled high pass and low pass filters

Frequency Domain Analysis

Power Spectral Density (FFT)
- Breaks down the signal into high and low-frequency spectral components
Mean (MNF) and Median (MDF) Frequency
- The most valuable and commonly used frequency-domain features for assessing muscle fatigue in surface EMG signals
Peak Frequency (PKF)
- Frequency at which the maximum EMG power occurs
Total Power (TTP)
- Total amount of power used over time
Mean Power (MNP)
- The average power of EMG power spectrum
Frequency Ratio (FR)
- Differentiate between contraction and relaxation of muscle and it is defined as the ratio of power spectrum at low-frequency band and high-frequency band
