CONSENSUS FOR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN IN ELECTROMYOGRAPHY
Welcome to CEDE
The Consensus for Experimental Design in Electromyography (CEDE) project is an international initiative, which aims to guide decision-making in recording, analysis, and interpretation of EMG across all applications including surface and invasive/intra-muscular methods and extends to guidance for specific applications.
Why CEDE Exists
The major output of the project is the development of a series of matrices to provide guidance for planning and interpretation of EMG methods using a Delphi consensus process. Each matrix provides recommendations with detailed justification so the user is fully informed. An interactive tool per matrix helps the user arrive at the most appropriate method for their experimental context.
