Electromyography (EMG) is a tool that can be very valuable in ergonomic studies if it is used correctly and if the associated limitations are appreciated. This chapter provides a general overview of these areas so that an appreciation for how these areas interact and impact on the effective use of EMG. As the information gained from an EMG signal becomes more quantitative and useful, the complexities involved in muscle testing increase.
