Voluntary EMG-to-force estimation with a multi-scale physiological muscle model
BACKGROUND EMG-to-force estimation based on muscle models, for voluntary contraction has many applications in human motion analysis. The so-called Hill model is recognized as a standard model for this practical use. However, it is a phenomenological model whereby muscle activation, force-length and force-velocity properties are considered independently. Perreault reported Hill modeling errors w...
متن کاملEMG Based Muscle Force Estimation using Motor Unit Twitch Model and Convolution Kernel Compensation
In this paper we introduce a new method for muscle force estimation from multi-channel surface electromyograms. The method combines a motor unit twitch model with motor unit innervation pulse trains, which are estimated from multi-channel surface electromyograms. The motor unit twitches are then aligned to the innervation pulse trains and summed up to obtain the total muscle force. The method w...
متن کاملEMG to force processing I: An electrical analogue of the Hill muscle model.
Aktract-A processing method is presented by which the surfaa ekctromyogram can k processed to the muscle fora. The smoothed rectified EMG and the joint angle (proportional to the muscle length) are the inputs ofan ekctrical analogue ofthe Hill musck model. The output of the analogue is the torque around the joint due to the muscle force and, by multiplication with the joint rotation, the muscle...
متن کاملA model of EMG generation with muscle shortening
Abstract—A finite element model for the generation of single fiber action potentials in a muscle undergoing various degrees of fiber shortening is developed. The muscle is assumed fusiform with muscle fibers following a curvilinear path described by a Gaussian function Different degrees of fiber shortening are simulated by changing the parameters of the fiber path and maintaining the volume o...
متن کاملMotor Control Information Extracted from Surface EMG as Muscle Force Estimation
The aim of this paper is to introduce an extension to a force estimation technique based on activity index and to compare it to two other muscle force estimation techniques that also use the motor control information on the same set of surface EMG signals. Our new method is called motor unit twitch force technique and the compared methods include motor unit action potential rate and activity in...
