Common sites for IM injections include the following: 1. The ventrogluteal muscle is the preferred site for adults and children over the age of 1 year because there are no large nerves or vessels, it is a large muscle, it is sealed by bone and contains less fat (Berman et al., 2008). 2.
electromyogram (EMG). Recording of electrical activity of a muscle associated with contraction and relaxation. This is obtained by placing a microelectrode within a muscle.The recording process is called electro-myography. diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of muscles. In the test, small electrodes are placed on or in the skin; the patterns of electrical activity are projected on a screen or over a loudspeaker. This procedure is used to test for muscle disorders, including muscular dystrophy. Mentioned in: Myopathies.
Direct vibration is normally applied to muscle or tendon at a high vibration frequency (100-150 Hz), at a small amplitude (1-2 mm) for a short period of time (2-15 s), resulting in a transient increase in muscle activity known as the tonic vibration reflex (Eklund and Hagbarth, 1966).
