    Subcutaneous needle electrodes for electromyography offer practical advantages over surface electrodes. An inexpensive, easily fabricated needle electrode connector set provides a durable and cost-effective solution for clinical use.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Surface electrodes are commonly used in electromyography (EMG) but present practical and clinical limitations.
    • Subcutaneous needle electrodes offer potential advantages in signal quality and patient comfort.
    • Existing needle electrode solutions can be costly and complex.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a functional, inexpensive set of subcutaneous needle electrode connectors for electromyography.
    • To demonstrate the clinical and practical advantages of subcutaneous needle electrodes compared to surface electrodes.
    • To assess the cost-effectiveness and durability of the fabricated needle electrode connectors.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a novel set of electromyography needle electrode connectors using readily available components.
