[Digital computer analysis of the electromyogram: preliminary report (author's transl)].

This is a preliminary report of a method of digital computer analysis of the electromyogram recorded from twenty sites in biceps brachial during fixed voluntary effort. The method allows several EMG parameters to be studied. The results in a group of normal subjects have been compared with those in patients with neuromuscular disease. Three parameters have proved of value in differentiating normal subjects from those with neurogenic disease.
