Is mV used to measure muscle tension?

[AngryGone]

Hello,

I'm wondering what the minimum, average, and maximum range of muscle tension in humans measured by mV? I am trying to create an experiment to see how anger affects the body.

No.

The EMG test says it is measured that way.

The readings they get might be in mVs and this reading may indeed be correlated/related to muscle tension in some way, but, it is not a direct measure of tension. Tension iirc has units in newtons as it is a force.
