Overview
The article refers to a few basic recommendations for the use of surface electromyography in rehabilitation research and practice. It indicates difficulties associated with detection, processing, assessment and interpretation of electromyographic signal. This article is the reaction to articles published in journal the Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy (Rehabilitace a fyzikální lékařství in the Czech language).
Keywords:
surface electromyography, detection, processing, electromyographic signal assessment, standards
