  H07 EMG

This PRO Lesson explains how to prepare an active learning lesson on human skeletal EMG.

EXPERIMENTAL OBJECTIVES

  1. To investigate the electrical activity of different muscles as they contract with varying degrees of force.
  2. To design experiments by selecting muscles to record EMGs from and creating activities those muscles will perform.

TASKS PERFORMED BY THE STUDENT

Subject will contract and hold a designated muscle for 2 seconds about every 5 sec.


KEY FEATURES

  • Add event markers throughout the recording.
  • The software automates the calibration procedure for the student. There are no knobs and dials to confuse the student.
  • Graph template files ensure consistent setup for subsequent Subjects or repeated trials—plus, you can easily add your own lesson plan to the onscreen journal.
  • The lesson will also work as part of a group study.
