The EMG Signal EMG - Force Relationship Signal Processing.3 EMG - Force Relationship An EMG signal will not necessarily reflect the total amount of force or torque a muscle can generate The number of motor units recorded by electrodes will be less than the total number of motor units that are firing - electrodes can’t pick-up all motor units EMG - Force Relationship: Amplitude If a newly recruited motor unit is close to the electrode the relative increase in the EMG signal amplitude will be greater than the corresponding increase in force If a motor unit is too far from the electrode the amp
