This tutorial is aimed to non-engineers using, or planning to use, surface electromyography
(sEMG) as an assessment tool in the prevention, monitoring and rehabilitation fields. Its first …

This brief review examines some of the methods used to infer central control strategies from
surface electromyogram (EMG) recordings. Among the many uses of the surface EMG in …

Purpose: The aim of this work is to provide information about the degree of inter-subject
uniformity of location of innervation zone (IZ) in 13 superficial muscles of the lower limb. The …

A surface EMG signal represents the linear transformation of motor neuron discharge times
by the compound action potentials of the innervated muscle fibers and is often used as a …

Muscle fatigue is an established area of research and various types of muscle fatigue have
been investigated in order to fully understand the condition. This paper gives an overview of …

The time course of muscle fiber conduction velocity and surface myoelectric signal spectral
(mean and median frequency of the power spectrum) and amplitude (average rectified and …

Myoelectric pattern recognition systems for prosthesis control are often studied in controlled
laboratory settings, but obstacles remain to be addressed before they are clinically viable …

Failure to maintain the required or expected force, defined as muscle fatigue, is
accompanied by changes in muscle electrical activity. Although studied for a long time …

Many previous studies were focused on the influence of anatomical, physical, and detection-
system parameters on recorded surface EMG signals. Most of them were conducted by …

An implantable device applies and controls a neural stimulus. The device has a plurality of
electrodes, and a stimulus source for providing a stimulus to be delivered from the …
