The measure of muscle activity that detects the lateral displacement of a muscle's belly following maximal percutaneous neuromuscular stimulation is referred to as:
A) Electromyography (EMG)
B) Whole muscle mechanomyography (wMMG)
C) Electroencephalography (EEG)
D) Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The measurement described is most likely wMMG, which detects the lateral displacement of a muscle's belly following stimulation. EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles, EEG measures brain activity, and NIRS measures oxygenation levels in tissues.
