Overview:
Electromyography (EMG) is the technique to study electrical properties produced by skeletal muscles using superficial electrodes that determine their electro-physiology signals. There are two main types of electromyography, namely, surface EMG (sEMG) and intramuscular (needle) EMG. Traditionally, needle EMG was the preferred technique for studying neuromuscular disorders. However, due to its invasive nature and lack of providing spatial information, the demand for needle EMG declined. Surface electromyography is a non-invasive procedure and therefore is more widely accepted EMG technique for monitoring muscle physiology without hampering established movement patterns and routines. This is the prime factor for the dominance of sEMG in the global electromyography electrodes market.
On the basis of application, the electromyography electrodes market has been segmented into neuromuscular disorders, dentistry, rehabilitation and sports medicine, and others. Neuromuscular disorders application held the largest market due to its wide usage in the neuromuscular monitoring in combination with other electrodiagnostic medicine to measure the function of the nerves. This procedure is termed as nerve conduction study, which is helpful in diagnosing cervical spine pain, spinal nerve compression, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and others. Moreover, scientists are working on making artificial anthropomorphic prosthetics a reality with the help of EMG to develop prosthetic limbs which would carry out human limb functions by detecting nerve signals. Rising application of EMG in sports medicine would further drive the market in the future. EMG is used to analyze muscle dysfunction in sports personnel and assess treatment outcomes for conditions like lower back pain, incontinence and others. Thus, growing technical advancement and application of EMG would drive the market electromyography electrodes market during the forecast period.
