EMG Mapping — Muscle Analysis in Minutes
Standardized EMG screenings for your practice: capture muscle activity, detect asymmetries, document progress.
What Is EMG Mapping?
EMG mapping is the standardized capture of muscle activity in defined body regions. Goal: Comparable measurement data across multiple sessions — in just a few minutes.
- Screening: Quick overview of muscle activity and asymmetries
- Progress tracking: Make changes between sessions visible
- Reporting: Automatic reports for your documentation
How EMG Mapping Works with easyEMG
SENIAM-Compliant Muscle Atlas
easyEMG includes a comprehensive muscle atlas with SENIAM-compliant electrode placement guidance. The 3D avatar shows exactly where to position electrodes — no guesswork.
4 Simultaneous Channels
With the PicoBlue 4-channel system, you capture 4 muscles in parallel. This speeds up every screening — no reconnecting, no repeating.
Real-Time Visualization
- 3D avatar with real-time heatmap and baseline overlay
- 60 FPS waveforms for smooth display on the tablet
- Automatic MVC calibration for client-specific reference values
Export and Reporting
- EDF+ export — research-compatible standard format, crash-safe
- PDF reports with practice branding and normative comparison
Typical Mapping Applications
| Region | What is captured | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Back (lumbar/thoracic) | Resting tone, symmetry, activation patterns | Posture analysis, training planning |
| Shoulder | Rotator cuff, trapezius balance | Rehab support, functional analysis |
| Knee | Vastus medialis/lateralis balance | Rehab support, training optimization |
| Full body | Bilateral screening | Prevention, performance analysis |
Why EMG Mapping with easyEMG?
| Aspect | easyEMG | Typical alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Channels | 4 simultaneous | Often 1–2, surcharge for more |
| Placement guidance | SENIAM-compliant, 3D avatar | Varies |
| Training required | No — guidance in the app | Often mandatory |
| Cost | €2,500 one-time | Subscription or premium |
| Devices | Unlimited (site license) | Often 1 per license |
| Biofeedback | 5 modes immediately after | Often separate system |
From Mapping to Biofeedback Training
The advantage of easyEMG: Mapping and training in one system. After screening, start biofeedback training directly — HOLD, RELAX, RAMP UP, RHYTHM, or SYMMETRY. No system switch, no data loss.
FAQ
Do I need training for EMG mapping?
No. easyEMG guides you with SENIAM-compliant 3D placement guidance through every measurement. Basic EMG knowledge is helpful but not required.
How many muscles can I map?
easyEMG offers a comprehensive muscle atlas with SENIAM-compliant placement guidance. With the 4-channel system, you capture up to 4 muscles simultaneously.
Can I export mapping results?
Yes. EDF+ export (research-compatible) and PDF reports with practice branding.
Is EMG mapping a diagnostic procedure?
EMG mapping with easyEMG serves to visualize and document muscle activity. It supports therapists in analysis — it is not a diagnostic procedure in the medical sense.
