Good afternoon all!

I am at long last (it's my final year of residency) going to take an elective month in EMG (January).

I have the Shapiro text, but was wondering if anyone had advice about reviews or introductory materials that are available for free perusal on the internet.

Should I just read the book, or is it too dense for starters?

Thanks,

Dan

I guess you could look at stuff on the web, but I'd strongly suggest reading the Preston & Shapiro for starters. I think it's really the best book out there, and it's actually the perfect book for "starters."

Another useful thing would be an EMG simulation program (the new P&S edition might come with one actually) to get used to looking at EMG waveforms.
