How does electrode spacing influence EMG biofeedback?

What will be an ideal response?


The further the electrodes are spaced apart, the greater the feedback a patient will receive at a given level of volitional effort. The wide spacing will sample electrical differences over a larger area and more muscles may be contributing to the signal.
