Preliminary Evaluation of the Audio‐Visual <scp>EMG</scp> ( <scp>AVEMG</scp> ) Method to Analyze the Interference Pattern

INTRODUCTION/AIMS: Quantitative analysis should be useful to all electrodiagnostic medical consultants (EMC). We tested a beta version of the audio-visual electromyography (AVEMG) method that quantifies the audio and visual characteristics of the interference pattern (IP) signal assessed by the EMC. METHODS: test. RESULTS: (1, N = 139) = 59, p < 0.0001). DISCUSSION: AVEMG provides real time quantitation in the background and does not interfere with workflow or add examination time or complexity to the routine needle EMG examination. It will be of interest to further assess its value by refining RVs and performing multicenter studies with operators having different skill levels.
