Abstract
Despite technical progress and the many applications of surface electromyography (sEMG) reported in the literature, its use remains limited, mostly because of insufficient technology transfer and educational efforts. This book is aimed at physical therapists, movement scientists, ergonomists, and other health professionals and its purpose is to provide them with information on the correct use, but also on the many forms of misuse, of sEMG. Although it has no clinical objectives and it is not a clinical manual, this book nonetheless includes several applications, which are listed in this chapter and expanded upon in Chapter 7.
