ABSTRACT:
An electrode array for collecting surface electromyographic (EMG) signals from a patient consists of 63 electrically conductive electrodes supported in a non-conductive, flexible pad in a predetermined pattern of nine rows and seven columns of equally spaced electrodes. The flexible pad allows the electrode array to conform to the external curvature of the patient, while the 9.times.7 rectangular array of electrodes provides a unique pattern related to the configuration of underlying muscle groups of the patient. This allows the sensor pad to be uniquely positioned relative to the patient's anatomy and to provide signals representative of the muscle activity, which can then be electronically displayed in a corresponding pattern, for evaluation by the attending physician.
