98723-0
ClinicalVoluntary activity.amplitude of Muscle on EMG
Definition
The amplitude of muscle electrical activity during voluntary muscle activation. Different levels of activation (e.g., minimal versus maximal) result in varying amplitudes. Normal amplitude is typically less than 2 mV. [PMID: 15961866]
