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

EMG in Dentistry

In dentistry, uses of EMG is more common in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, TMJ dysfunction, dystonia, orthodontics, implants, occlusion or bite correction, cranial nerve lesion, and assessing muscles of the head and neck at rest and in function.

Surface EMG can be used to study bioelectrical phenomena of muscular contraction. Surface EMG allows the examination of some important muscles involved in chewing, swallowing, and posture of the head (typically masseter, temporalis anterior and posterior, digastric anterior, sternocleidomastoid).
