Overview of medical technology
Electromyography is based on the diagnostic procedure to assess the health of
muscles and nerve cells that help for controlled in proper manner. EMG can be resulted as
never as dysfunction, problem with never to muscle within signal transmission (Drosu and
Drosu, 2019). Generally, motor neurons transmit electrical signals which causes muscles to
contract.
This type of EMG technology measure muscle response of electrical activity in term
of nerve’s stimulation (Electromyography, 2018). It help for detecting the neuromuscular
abnormalities at the time of testing. On the other hand, it also understands that EMG record
the every movement of human muscles on the basis of fact, whenever muscle contract, burst
of electric activity and also generated with progress.
Describe electrical and general safety consideration in use of Electromyography device
In context of electrical and safety, An EMG machine offers better simulation device
that can easily excite nerves and other muscles. For example- magnetic field, reflex hammer
and so on (Su and et.al., 2020). Sometimes, it can be interfaced to give better timing signals
through triggers, in order to achieve the better instruments pass in the form of digitized
signals through digital to analogue convert.
When using the EMG consider the specific international standards in context of
electro-diagnostic (Thymi, Verhoeff and Lobbezoo, 2020). For Example- there are maximum
amount of current, which leaks to ground of medical devices. For maintaining high degree of
safety, it should consider MPLS or VPN for ensuring the correct functionality of MEG
device.
Two Examples physiological function and disease states that EMG medical device is
designed to detect
Example: 1
Charcot-Marie tooth disease cannot be detected by EMG device because it only
showing the rate of frequency in term of digital signals. This will not addressed physiological
function and current state of disease.
