Electromyography (EMG) is the most objective and reliable method available for imaging muscle function and efficiency, which is done by identifying their electrical potentials. In global surface electromyography (sEMG), surface electrodes are located on the surface of the skin, and it detects superimposed motor unit action potentials from many muscle fibers. sEMG is widely used in orthodontics and maxillofacial orthopaedics to diagnose and treat temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in patients, assess stomatognathic system dysfunctions in patients with malocclusions, and monitor orthodontic therapies. Information regarding muscle sEMG activity in subjects with congenital maxillofacial abnormalities is limited. For this reason, the aim of this review is to discuss the usefulness of surface electromyography as a method for diagnosing muscle function in patients with congenital malformations of the maxillofacial region. Original papers on this subject, published in English between 1995 until 2020, are located in the MEDLINE/PubMed database.
肌电图（EMG）是用于成像肌肉功能和效率的最客观和可靠的方法，通过识别其电潜能来实现。在全局表面肌电图（sEMG）中，表面电极位于皮肤表面，它可以从许多肌肉纤维中检测到叠加的运动单位动作电位。sEMG 在正畸和正颌外科中广泛用于诊断和治疗患者的颞下颌关节紊乱（TMD），评估错畸形患者的咀嚼系统功能障碍，并监测正畸治疗。关于先天性颌面畸形患者肌肉 sEMG 活动的信息有限。因此，本综述的目的是讨论表面肌电图作为诊断颌面区域先天性畸形患者肌肉功能的一种方法的有用性。1995 年至 2020 年间以英文发表的关于该主题的原始论文位于 MEDLINE/PubMed 数据库中。
