Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of EMG as related to biomechanical function and dysfunction. The uses and limitations of this technique are described and instrumentation features and methods of data collection and interpretation are presented. We also discuss factors that influence the relationship of EMG to biomechanical measurements and cite as examples studies that have used EMG. Emphasis is placed on improving the ability of the physical therapist to use and interpret EMG data in kinesiology and biomechanics.Keywords
