Comparison of EMG Activity Between Maximal Manual Muscle Testing and Cybex Maximal Isometric Testing of the Quadriceps Femoris

Two methods have been used to produce a maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of the superficial quadriceps femoris muscles for normalization of electromyographic (EMG) data. The purposes of this study were to compare the myoelectic activity of MVIC of manual muscle testing (MMT) versus Cyb...
