Definition of the method
Normalization to an isometric MVC that is standardized but not matched to the task under investigation. This method includes:
- Non-specific isometric maximal voluntary contraction: The peak EMG amplitude from a maximal isometric voluntary contraction, usually obtained from a mid-range joint angle (not as the task of interest).
This method includes:
- Normalizing to a standardized isometric maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) provides a relative value useful to compare the magnitude of muscle activity in different tasks or conditions.
