ABSTRACT:
A self-contained, battery powered, hand-held transmitter usable with mono or bipolar needle electrodes to sense electrochemical nerve impulses as transmitted through the nervous system and muscles of humans and animals. The hand-held transmitter is of miniaturized, generally rectangular form and comprises electronics developing and transmitting a VHF signal receivable by conventional FM receiver means. Being wireless, the transmitter avoids the possible signal distortions and restrictions of patient and physician movements which are inherent when using cable interconnections between electromyographic sensors and associated analytical equipment.
