BTS Bioengineering > Surface EMG
For more than twenty years, BTS has developed and produced systems dedicated to surface electromyography. The ongoing collaboration with our users, doctors, and researchers and the resulting a years of accumulated clinical experience enable us to attain excellence with our products for this sector.
We don’t just offer solutions that are on the cutting edge technologically. They are above all comprehensive, easy to use, ready to use, and highly productive as they have been designed for use not only by patients, athletes, but also doctors and researchers.
Compared to the more consolidated needle EMG, the skin method provides global data about the muscle being tested and avoids risks associated with needle use. Because it is non invasive it can used for any kind of patient, even for children.

It provides information about the following:
A surface electromyography test synchronized to a basografico test can be used for gait analysis because it provides an assessment of all the muscles involved in an activity and automatically extracts step characteristics:
- moment, duration, and muscle activation during movement;
- global activity of a muscle or a group of muscles;
- degree of contraction or relaxation of a muscle or group of muscles;
- myoelectric signals to control an external device ( ex: prosthetics);
A surface electromyography test synchronized to a basografico test can be used for gait analysis because it provides an assessment of all the muscles involved in an activity and automatically extracts step characteristics:
- Muscular States ON/OFF
- Analysis of the reaction time of each muscle
- support phases and flight phases
