Abstract
A system for detecting and analyzing electrical activity in the anatomy of an organism underlying an electromyographic (EMG) sensor device provides signals corresponding to electrical activity adjacent each electrode of sensor device. A method using the system may comprise determining EMG data for a patient responsive to EMG signals detected from a detection area on a back of the patient using the EMG sensor device. The method may further include determining whether the determined EMG data for the patient corresponds to predetermined EMG data associated with at least one of a facet condition, a disc condition, and a muscle condition.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- a) determining electromyographic (EMG) data for a patient responsive to EMG signals detected from a detection area on a back of the patient using an EMG sensor device;
- b) determining whether the EMG data for the patient determined in (a) corresponds to predetermined EMG data associated with at least one of a facet condition and a disc condition.
A method comprising:
- a) detecting electromyographic (EMG) signals from a detection area on a back of a patient using an EMG sensor device;
- b) determining through operation of at least one processor, EMG data for the patient responsive to the EMG signals detected in (a);
- c) comparing the EMG data for the patient to predetermined EMG data, wherein the predetermined EMG data correlates a plurality of back conditions to respective sets of features of EMG data, wherein the back conditions correlated in the predetermined EMG data include at least one of a facet condition and a disc condition;
- d) determining whether the EMG data for the patient is indicative of at least one of the facet condition and the disc condition responsive to (c).
