Simultaneous intramuscular pressure and surface electromyography measurement in diagnosing the chronic compartment syndrome
Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 10/23/09

Zhang Q et al. – Only one of the three patients was proven to have chronic compartment syndrome (CCS). Other reasons for leg pain were diagnosed in 23 patients. The results demonstrated that simultaneous measurements of intramuscular pressure (IMP) and surface electromyography (EMG) differentiate elevated IMP at rest after exercise due to the volumetric load of the compartment muscles seen in patients with CCS and due to the remaining muscle contraction, thereby preventing a false diagnosis of CCS.
