EMG Placement System¶
NES allows to register a system for placements the electrodes in the EMG experiments. SENIAM is a example of a placement system.

This page shows the list of EMG electrode placement system registered in NES. By clicking a item of the list you can edit this item.
Add a EMG Placement System¶
To add a new EMG placement system, you have to insert the name of the system registered and maybe a description. The picture below show a example of this screen:
After saving a new EMG placement system, you can insert a electrode placement. There are three categories of electrode placements: surface, intramuscular and needle. You must choose one of them, as is shown the example in the next picture.
Add a Surface EMG electrode placement¶
The informations that should be registered when inserting a surface electrode placement are the following: * Muscle subdivision: select the subdivision of the muscle that will be descreved. * Location description: the description of the localization where the electrode should to be placed. * Start posture: this information indicates the posture of the participant in the beginning of the experiment. * Orientation: this information indicates the orientation of the electrode on the skin of the participant. * Fixation on the skin: this indicates how the electrode will be fixed on the skin. * Reference electrode: the electrode that will be configured as reference. * Clinical test: the description of the test that will be made during the experiment. * Photo: a photo of the muscle described.
Add a Intramuscular EMG electrode placement¶
The informations that should be registered when inserting a intramuscular electrode placement are the following: * Muscle subdivision: the subdivision of the muscle to be described. * Location description: the description of the localization where the electrode should to be placed. * Method of insertion: the description of the method that will be used for the insertion of the intramuscular electrode. * Depth of insertion: indication of the depth of the insertion of the intramuscular electrode. * Photo: a photo of the muscle described.
Add a Needle EMG electrode placement¶
The informations that should be registered when inserting a needle electrode placement are the following: * Muscle subdivision: select the subdivision of the muscle that will be described. * Location description: the description of the localization where the electrode should to be placed. * Depth of insertion: this information indicates which will be the depth of the insertion of the needle electrode. * Photo: a photo of the muscle described.
