Rate of publication of sEMG articles on international peer-reviewed journals. These articles and more than 20 textbooks (see: https://www.robertomerletti.it/en/emg/material/books/) provide a huge body of knowledge that ranges from technical issues to clinical applications in research labs. A Pubmed search (June 2020, keywords “surface electromyography” OR sEMG) indicated over 5,500 publications (14.8% of the 37,000 publications listed in Pubmed under “neurorehabilitation”). Over 180 review papers are listed by Pubmed in the sEMG field. In most countries, this knowledge is not translated into routine applications for planning treatment, monitoring and assessing outcome in neurorehabilitation.
