Surface EMG

Biometrics Ltd EMG sensors & systems have been extensively researched & developed over a number of years incorporating
the latest design principles & technologies. The result is a versatile, state of the art range of EMG products which are reliable, accurate and easy to use.

Biometrics Ltd offer a technologically advanced yet cost effective range of EMG* display & data capture systems offering both full portability and real time display and analysis options.

Biometrics sensors and instrumentation are used extensively in the fields of ergonomics, sports science and medical research where measurements of surface EMG are commonly taken for a wide range of applications such as:

  • Symmetry studies during gait
  • Timing data in Biomechanics
  • Work done & fatigue studies
  • Work environment and tool design
  • Sports performance
  • Neuro Rehabilitation
  • Education
  • Veterinary Science

* When a muscle contracts electrical activity is generated within the muscle which may be measured using electrodes placed on the surface of the skin.  This electrical signal is usually in the order of up to 3,000 micro volts and is referred to as electromyography or EMG.
