2 Page 2 Biopac Science Lab Lesson 2 Electromyography 2 Mechanical Work I. SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES Skeletal muscle performs mechanical work when the muscle contracts and an object is moved, as in lifting a weight. To lift a weight, your muscles must exert a force great enough to overcome the force of gravity acting on the weight. If you exert less force, the weight does not move. The amount of mechanical work performed can be calculated by multiplying the force generated by the contracting muscles (which is equal to the weight lifted) by the distance the weight was lifted. For example, the amount of work performed by muscles in the arm when a 5 kg weight is lifted 30 cm is 150 kg.cm (Fig. 2.1). The amount of force a muscle develops when it shortens is graded, that is, it is directly proportional to the workload placed on the muscle. Thus, twice as much force, or a much stronger muscle contraction, is required to lift 10 kg to a height of 30 cm than is required to lift 5 kg the same distance, and twice as much mechanical work is done. Mechanical work = (5 kg)(30 cm) = 150 kg.cm Fig. 2.1 The strength of muscle contraction necessary to perform a task involving mechanical work can be attained through motor unit recruitment (see Lesson 1). For example, when lifting a bucket of water from the ground, the brain first activates several motor units in requisite skeletal muscles. If sensory information returning from stretch receptors in the muscles, associated joint capsules, ligaments, and tendons indicates the muscles are contracting but not developing sufficient strength to lift the bucket, the brain activates additional motor units until the sensory information indicates the bucket is being lifted. The sequential activation of motor units to perform a designated task is called motor unit recruitment. The circulatory system blood brings nutrients to skeletal muscles. The muscles use those nutrients to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy source for contraction. During contraction, ATP is consumed, and chemical wastes (metabolites) are produced and removed by the blood. Failure of the circulatory system to supply nutrients at a rate adequate to meet the muscle s demand for ATP, and failure to adequately remove metabolites, can lead to muscle fatigue. Fatigue is defined as a decrease in the muscle s ability to generate force. Skeletal muscles performing continuous maximal work over a short period of time, or continuous submaximal work over a longer period of time will eventually fatigue. Fatigue is caused by a reversible depletion of the muscle s ATP and a temporary buildup of metabolic waste. Some of the accumulated metabolites interfere with the contractile process, and some stimulate pain receptors in surrounding connective tissue, inducing cramping of skeletal muscle, a general sign of inadequate blood flow to the muscle. Long-term training of skeletal muscles through repetitive exercises stimulates the growth of blood vessels in the muscles, increasing blood flow, thereby delaying the onset of fatigue. In this lesson, you will use electromyography to examine motor unit recruitment and skeletal muscle fatigue. The detection, amplification, and recording of changes in skin voltage produced by underlying skeletal muscle contraction is called electromyography, and the recording thus obtained is called an electromyogram (EMG). The software also calculates and displays Integrated EMG, an alternative view of the EMG signal that clearly shows the pattern of muscle activity. The mean of the raw EMG will always be zero, but the mean of the Integrated EMG will always be positive, so Integrated EMG can be used to measure the mean value over a selected burst of EMG data. II. EXPERIMENTAL OBJECTIVES 1) To record EMG response to increased weights lifted by dominant and non-dominant arms. 2) To compare differences between male and female students. 3) To observe, record, and correlate motor unit recruitment with increased mechanical work by skeletal muscle. 4) To record EMG and Integrated EMG when inducing fatigue.

MATERIALS Biopac Science Lab system (MP40 and software) on computer running Windows XP or Mac OS X Electrode lead set (40EL lead set) Disposable vinyl electrodes (EL503), six electrodes per subject Weight set (i.e., kg dumbbells) Subjects must lift the same weights for valid comparisons String to standardize distance lifted Ruler to measure distance lifted Optional: Headphones (40HP) to listen to the EMG signal IV. EXPERIMENTAL METHODS A. Set Up Equipment Subject Place electrodes on each arm: white lead over top of Biceps brachii red lead over bottom of Biceps brachii black lead (ground) inside wrist Fig. 2.2 MP40 with 40EL connected Fig. 2.3 Electrode connections for each arm FAST TRACK 1. Turn the computer ON. 2. Set the MP40 dial to OFF. 3. Plug the equipment in as follows: Electrode leads (40EL) MP40 Optional: Headphones (40HP) computer 4. Attach six electrodes per Fig Connect the electrode leads (40EL) to the electrodes on the Subject s dominant arm, matching lead color to electrode position. IMPORTANT Clip each electrode lead color to its specified electrode position. 6. Cut string to standardize the lift distance of 45 degrees (from Subject s finger to table). 7. Start the Biopac Science Lab software. Details Connect the headphones (40HP) to the computer to prepare for the optional Listening to EMG segment. Attach three electrodes to each arm and wrist (Fig. 2.3.) For the first recording segment, connect the leads to the Subject s dominant arm (generally the right arm if the Subject is right-handed or the left arm if the Subject is left-handed); this will be Arm 1. Use the Subject s non-dominant arm for the second recording segment, labeled Arm 2. To standardize the lift distance, tie a string around the Subject s finger and have the Subject lift the weight to 45 degrees. Cut the string where it rests on the table. Director can hold the string to the table while Subject lifts the weight until the string is taut. 8. Choose lesson L02-EMG-2 and click OK. 9. Type in a unique file name. 10. Click OK. No two people can have the same file name, so use a unique identifier, such as the Subject s nickname or student ID#. This ends the Set Up procedure.

5 Lesson 2: EMG 2 Page 5 C. Record FAST TRACK 1. Prepare for the recording. 2. Set the lift distance and note it in the Data Report. The Subject must lift the same distance every time. A Tip Use string to standardize the lift distance. Details Watch the Help menu videos to prepare for the recording. You will record two segments on each arm: Segments 1 and 3: motor unit activity associated with performance of increased mechanical work Segments 2 and 4: fatigue In order to work efficiently, read this entire section so you will know what to do before recording. Stop each recording segment as soon as possible so you don t waste recording time (time is memory). Tip To standardize the lift distance, tie a string around the Subject s finger and have the Subject lift the weight to 45 degrees; then, cut the string where it rests on the table. While recording, the Director can hold the string to the table while Subject lifts the weight until the string is taut. SEGMENT 1 3. Release all weight/tension on the arm. 4. Click. After you click Record, data will be recorded and you can visually review the EMG. 5. Complete at least three cycles of lift-wait-repeat with increasing weight. Insert a marker (F9 or Esc) each time the weight is set down. Repeat a cycle of weight lifts, adding weight for each cycle until the maximum weight the Subject is capable of lifting is used. Lift each weight and hold for two seconds; then, set it down and wait for two seconds before increasing the weight for the next cycle. It is important to lift from and return to the same position for each weight so the distance can be easily measured. All Subjects must lift the same weights for valid comparisons. To insert a marker, press F9 (Windows) or Esc (Mac). 6. Click Suspend. When you click Suspend, the recording will halt, giving you time to review the data and prepare for the next recording segment. 7. Review the data. If correct, go to Step 8. If incorrect, click Redo.

Click Done to end the lesson. 33. Choose an option and click OK. 34. Remove the electrodes Listening to the EMG is optional. Listening to the EMG can be a valuable tool in detecting muscle abnormalities, and is performed here for general interest. Note When the Listen button is clicked, the volume through the headphones may be very loud due to system feedback. The volume cannot be adjusted, so you may have to position the headphones slightly off the ear to reduce the sound. You will hear the EMG signal through the headphones as it is being displayed on the screen. The screen will display two channels: CH1 EMG, and CH40 Integrated EMG. The data on the screen will not be saved. The signal will run until you click Stop. If others in your lab group would like to hear the EMG signal, pass the headphones around and click Redo. When you click Done, a dialog with options will be generated. Make your choice, and click OK. If you choose Analyze current data file, go to the Analyze section for directions. Unclip the electrode lead connectors and peel off the electrodes. Throw out the electrodes. END OF RECORDING
