A new method of implanting electrodes in the muscles of the limbs of dogs to record the electrogram under conditions of free movement

A thin nichrome wire served as an electrode for the EMG lead; one end of the wire was introduced into the tissue of the muscle to be investigated, and the other was immersed in a rubber capsule filled with an electrically conducting paste; the capsule remained under the skin of the neck. A needleelectrode connected to an amplifier was introduced into the capsule in order to record the EMG through the skin.
