development of a low-cost epimysial electromyography electrode: a simplified workflow for fabrication and testing

Electromyography (EMG) is a powerful tool for studying the electrical activity of muscle. EMG recordings can be especially useful in preclinical animal models to assess the effectiveness of interventions to treat neuromuscular dysfunction. In these models, implantable biocompatible electrodes are commonly used to assess the neurophysiological interface between motor neurons and muscle fibers. These implantable electrodes can provide localized measurements of muscle excitation and can be diverse in terms of their configuration, shape, and material, with the optimal design ultimately dictated by the location and intended use.
Despite their suitability for assessing muscle excitation in preclinical models, the use of epimysial electrodes can be limited by cost. As a result, many investigators use custom-fabricated epimysial electrodes that are produced in-house. Although resources exist detailing the fundamental considerations of electrode fabrication, testing, and use1,2, there is a need for an updated instructional guide detailing the sourcing, fabrication, and validation of epimysial electrodes using modern methods. Informed by the foundational works of Loeb and Gans3 and others in electrode theory, we present modern instructions on the sourcing and fabrication of low-cost epimysial electrodes and test their performance in a series of ex vivo and in vivo experiments. The aim is to offer a user-friendly guide for others in the scientific community to source, fabricate, and test in-house low-cost epimysial electrodes for animal use, enabling the broader quantification of muscle excitation in preclinical models.
In this protocol, we provide an instructional guide to the sourcing, fabrication, and testing of epimysial electrodes for animal use in the modern electrophysiology laboratory. Electrode parameters chosen for fabrication, such as the shape, dimensions, contact surface area, interelectrode distance, lead length, etc., were selected to suit our experimental needs and were comparable to a commercially available industry standard epimysial electrode (see the Table of Materials). We encourage other groups to modify these parameters to suit their needs in addition to selecting a reliable industry standard electrode that matches their use case.
In an effort to give readers a relatively quick sense of electrode performance, we also provide an example of an ex vivo testing protocol with the option of measuring electrode impedance. Additionally, we give an example assessment of electrode performance in vivo. The ex vivo experiment compared the custom-fabricated electrode to an industry standard in a saline bath to mimic stable physiological conditions. Impedance was also assessed ex vivo via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The in vivo experiment consisted of the surgical implantation of the custom-fabricated electrode into the vastus lateralis (VL) muscle of a 16-week-old female Long Evans rat (HsdBlu: LE, Envigo) to measure the EMG signal during conditions known to elicit a high or low signal (uphill, downhill walking). To assess the reliability of the custom-fabricated electrode, EMG signaling was acquired during level walking following full surgical recovery and prior to sacrifice (14 days and 56 days post implantation, respectively). Hematoxylin-eosin (H&#38;E) staining was conducted on the instrumented muscle to assess the biocompatibility of the custom-fabricated electrode.

低成本肌外肌电图电极的开发：简化的制造和测试工作流程

We seek to understand the neuromuscular and electrical-physiological consequences of ACL injury using a preclinical rodent model. Our current experiments use implantable epimysial EMG electrodes to investigate how non-invasive ACL injury alters quadriceps activation. Although fundamental resources exist detailing the considerations for electrode fabrication and testing, we aim to provide an updated, easy-to-follow guide to epimysial electrode fabrication and testing for the modern electrophysiology laboratory.Our goal was to streamline the epimysial EMG fabrication and testing process, facilitating the broader use of epimysial electrodes in the advancement of neuromuscular research.
