Surface electromyography (sEMG) has been the subject of thousands of scientific articles,
but many barriers limit its clinical applications. Previous work has indicated that the lack of …

This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether muscle activity and playing-related
musculoskeletal disorders are associated with musicians' anthropometrics and their …

Measuring surface electromyography (sEMG) outside the laboratory environment is pivotal
for numerous clinical and performance applications. The development of long-term …

For over 3 million years hominins held stone-cutting tools in the hand, gripping the portion of
tool displaying a sharp cutting edge directly. During the late Middle Pleistocene human …

Background Agricultural handle equipment is present on all production areas' farms. They
are handy and portable; however, excessive use can lead to acute traumas or accidental …

Research in emotion recognition is important in many domains, from industrial ergonomics
and health diagnostics to neuromarketing and affective computing. Emotion recognition from …

Objective. The wide detection volume of surface electromyogram (EMG) makes it prone to
crosstalk, ie the signal from other muscles than the target one. Removing this perturbation …

Ergonomic relationships that minimize muscle activity relative to the creation of cutting stress
underpin the design of modern knives, saws, and axes. The Palaeolithic archaeological …

The purpose of this study was to compare electromyographic (EMG) with
mechanomyographic (MMG) recordings during isometric conditions, and during a simulated …

The field of ergonomics studies how the human body interacts with its physical environment.
Often there is a focus on hand-held tools. In the case of hominin artifacts, factors relating to …
