Description

General information about EMG (electromyography) biofeedback training

The eSense Muscle can measure and train electromyographic muscle activity and transmit it to your computer/smartphone/tablet via Bluetooth®.

The musculature of the human being plays an essential role in the body. Our muscles are the largest energy consumer and are responsible for about 70- 80% of our body weight. Muscle activity is manifested along the fibers of a striated muscle in the form of permanent, electrical potential shifts. This electrical activity can be measured at the skin surface in the form of more considerable summation potentials. This form of measurement is called (surface) electromyography, and the result is an electromyogram.

Transverse striated muscles are controlled by our somatic nervous system and are subject to voluntary control. Every volitional action of a muscle can therefore be observed in an electromyogram. Thus, the tension of a muscle on 27 which surface EMG electrodes are placed immediately leads to increased trace in the EMG signal.

However, involuntary reactions, such as stress, inner tension, and emotional experience, can also be measured as (tonic) activity in the EMG. EMG biofeedback can also report back the general psychophysiological tension. The interplay between the autonomic and somatic nervous systems can be depicted particularly well in the EMG. Increased muscle tone is mainly based on an increase in sympathetic activity. A decrease can be attributed to more robust parasympathetic activation. The eSense EMG device is easy to use and provides instant biofeedback.

The EMG signal

With EMG, we measure a voltage curve over time. We pay attention to the amplitude (the magnitude) of the signal and the frequency. Depending on the musculature, considerable differences become 28 apparent. An EMG signal from a small muscle, e.g. from a finger on the hand, is significantly lower in amplitude and frequency range than the signal from the large thigh muscle.

The eSense Muscle EMG Device can measure the EMG raw signal and transmit it via Bluetooth®, as well as already three preset bandpass signals (RMS) in the frequency ranges:

20 Hz to 950 Hz, 20 Hz to 300 Hz and 100 Hz to 200 Hz

You can select and use these in the eSense web app and also the mobile app. In biofeedback, we work exclusively with the bandpass RMS signals, as these are directly related to amplitude and applied muscle force. The amplitude ranges from a few µV (millionths of a volt) to several hundred µV in particularly strong muscles.

The frequency range of the EMG signal does not play a significant role in EMG biofeedback. It only emphasizes the signal part you 29 want to look at. EMG activity has a reasonably broad frequency spectrum, roughly from 10 Hz to 500 Hz, focusing between 25-300 Hz. Choose a wide filter (20-950 Hz) if you want to capture and feedback all components in the EMG and choose a narrow filter (100-200 Hz) if you’re going to capture the majority and filter out possible sources of interference such as pulse artifacts or mains hum. The eSense Muscle is a very accurate EMG device that gives you very accurate biofeedback feedback.
