  • Title: Microcomputer-based portable long-term spasticity recording system.
    Author: Tepavac D, Swenson JR, Stenehjem J, Sarjanović I, Popović D.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Biomed Eng; 1992 Apr; 39(4):426-31. PubMed ID: 1592410.
    Abstract:
    A device for long-term monitoring of muscle activity (EMG) with surface electrodes and method of its application are described in this paper. This device is called a microcomputer two-channel EMG monitor. The device can be used for up to 24 h monitoring of EMG activity, followed by data transfer to a host computer for signal analysis. This device records amplified, rectified, and integrated EMG activity. Shorter recording time allows shorter sampling periods suitable for different other EMG analysis. Recording of spontaneous EMG in complete spinal cord injured subjects was the original reason for the design of the long-term monitor. These recordings were used for estimation of spasticity in complete spinal cord patients.
