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

EP Stress Score: Static sEMG Simplified. Sum of All Electrophysiological EMG readings in Microvolts
Preadjustment Postadjustment
Static sEMG Reproducibility? Actual Test-Retest Performed April 2014 Before Audience
Pre-Test: EP Stress Score 244 MicrovoltsPost-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.
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)

What do Patients Think of E-Scan with EP Stress Score?
But How Do I use Technology for PI? I hear it is so lucrative?
“Thank you David for making the
unseen known to the unbelieving.”
