Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Rehabilitation Technology
Clinical Measurement

Background:

Standardized surface electromyography (ssEMG) is crucial for muscle activity assessment.
Conventional ssEMG systems may present limitations in patient comfort and setup time.
Advancements in wireless technology offer potential improvements in ssEMG application.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare patient perception and data repeatability between conventional and wireless ssEMG devices.
To evaluate the comfort, quickness, and stress associated with each ssEMG system.
To assess the reliability and variability of ssEMG indices across different devices and timepoints.

Main Methods:

A comparative study involving 45 participants assessing both conventional and wireless ssEMG.
Patient-reported outcomes (comfort, quickness, stress) measured using Likert scales.
Data repeatability analyzed using linear mixed models (LMM) and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs).

Main Results:

Wireless ssEMG was rated significantly more comfortable and quicker by participants.
No significant main effects of device type or timepoint on EMG values were found via LMM.
Moderate-to-good reliability (ICC) was observed, yet several indices exhibited considerable measurement variability.

Conclusions:

Wireless ssEMG offers superior patient comfort and efficiency compared to conventional systems.
ssEMG indices demonstrate good repeatability across devices, supporting consistent performance.
Substantial variability in certain indices may limit the current diagnostic utility of ssEMG.
