List of scientific publications on surface electromyography according to the method of the school of Milan

The measurement protocol has been validated in international scientific literature for almost 30 years of publications. The development of this standardized electromyography method first focused on the repeatability and on the determination of the reference values, and then turned to the application of the protocol to different categories of Patients. The consensus from the world's leading scientific journals has manifested itself through various publications in impacted journals, providing the analysis system with the highest degree of international recognition.
