Prevention of musculoskeletal disorders is one of the main goals in ergonomics. The
development of methods to quantify muscle force, fatigue, and muscle involvement in a work …

Abstract Average Rectified Value (ARV) and Root Mean Square (RMS) are amplitude
indicators commonly used in the field of EMG either in time or space. These two indicators …

Aim Fuzzy wavelet neural network (FWNN) has proven to be a promising strategy in the
identification of nonlinear systems. The network considers both global and local properties …

This chapter deals with the association between surface electromyography (sEMG) and
force/fatigue and outlines this association, and the tools to study it. It considers myoelectric …

The purpose of this study was to estimate the torque from high-density surface
electromyography signals of biceps brachii, brachioradialis, and the medial and lateral …

We investigated the spatial patterns of electrical activity in stroke-affected muscles using the
high density surface electromyogram (sEMG) grids. We acquired 128-channel sEMG signals …

Spasticity is a major impairment that can occur following a hemispheric stroke and is often
treated with injections of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that impairs transmission at the …

Muscles produce force under voluntary control or under control of an external drive (eg,
electrical stimulation). Muscles also produce a distribution of electrical potential over the skin …

The term “musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)” is used to describe a variety of conditions that
affect the muscles, bones, joints, and connective tissue and include repetitive strain injuries …
