This document promotes the use of static and dynamic surface electromyography (sEMG) technology, called MyoVision, for chiropractors. It claims that sEMG provides a more reliable and quantifiable way to assess muscle activity compared to manual palpation. The technology produces an "EP Stress Score" that serves as an objective baseline for measuring a patient's progress. It also discusses using sEMG to document muscle guarding and limitations in range of motion. The document asserts that sEMG data is admissible in court and can help chiropractors validate patient complaints, focus legal arguments, and potentially reduce disputes over billing. It encourages chiropractors to adopt this technology to strengthen their practices.

5. Static sEMG is An Electronic Form of
Palpation
• Significantly more reliable.
• Significantly better intraexaminer
reliability
• “Shows Quantitatively What You
Feel.
• Shows Contracture & Hyperactivity.

7. EP Stress Score: Static sEMG Simplified. Sum of All
Electrophysiological EMG readings in Microvolts
Preadjustment Postadjustment
8. Static sEMG Reproducibility? Actual Test-
Retest Performed April 2014 Before Audience
Pre-Test: EP Stress Score 244 Microvolts
Post-Test: EP Stress Score 254 Microvolts:
Difference? 10 Millionths of a volt!
Standing, Body May Shift
Left to right, with
arrows shifting left to
right, but Sum of all
activity (EP Stress
Score) stays the same.
NOTE: Microvolts is
millionths of a volt.
9. Interpretation Is Now A Snap!
High Readings Match Palpation?
Hyperactivity or Spasm (Acute)
LOW Readings Opposite of
Palpation (muscles feel taut)?
Fatigued Muscles Due to
Contracture or Overuse (Chronic)
EP Stress Score? Baseline Used to
Track Progress over time (per VA
Hospital Study)

is so lucrative?
