Reassign traces in standard needle EMG
Sweeps acquired on the wrong muscle may be reassigned.
•
Right-click in the main scope window to access
swap muscle
function.
•
Select the new muscle from the test menu view and confirm.
•
All data are reassigned to the new muscle: findings, epochs, analysis, recordings
Sweeps acquired on the wrong side of the patient may be reassigned.
•
Right-click in the sweep window background to access the
swap side
function
•
All nerve data recorded on the left side of the patient are reassigned to the right side, while all data recorded on the right side are
reassigned to the left side.
Plot Windows (4) (optional)
Depending on the Test configuration, this area shows different result plot windows:
Inter-discharge interval (IDI), Motor Unit Potential (MUP), Turns/Amplitude,
Number of Small Segments
(
NSS
),
Envelope,
and
Peak Ratio
.
Note that the plot windows do not contain any values until an analysis has been conducted.
Example: The Motor Unit Potential Result Plot Window (optional with QEMG
The MUP result plot window displays the MUPs, which are found when analyzing. The number of accepted MUPs is displayed in the upper-
right corner of the window.
•
The square represents the MUP. To activate the MUPs Edit, which includes detailed data for the MUP, amplitude, and duration,
simply/click on the square.
•
The mean amplitude/duration is displayed as an X (the color codes are similar to the MUP).
If the MUP has a corresponding reference limit, the result will be colored as follows:
–
Abnormal
: a red square.
–
Normal
: a green square.
If the reference values are present, there may be one box for the single MUPs and one box for the mean MUPs.
