We seek to understand the neuromuscular and electrical-physiological consequences of ACL injury using a preclinical rodent model. Our current experiments use implantable epimysial EMG electrodes to investigate how non-invasive ACL injury alters quadriceps activation. Although fundamental resources exist detailing the considerations for electrode fabrication and testing, we aim to provide an updated, easy-to-follow guide to epimysial electrode fabrication and testing for the modern electrophysiology laboratory.
Our goal was to streamline the epimysial EMG fabrication and testing process, facilitating the broader use of epimysial electrodes in the advancement of neuromuscular research.
