Denoising and Analysis of Surface EMG Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research, surface electromyography (SEMG) signal analysis from the right rectus femoris muscle is performed during walk. Wavelet transform (WT) has been applied for removing noise from the surface SEMG. Gaussianity tests are conducted to understand changes in muscle contraction and to quantify the effectiveness of the noise removal process. Results show that the proposed method can effectively remove noise from the raw SEMG signals for further analysis. Key-Words: Denoising, Gaussianity, SEMG, wavelet transform.

Can Wavelet Denoising Improve Motor Unit Potential Template Estimation?
Background: Electromyographic (EMG) signals obtained from a contracted muscle contain valuable information on its activity and health status. Much of this information lies in motor unit potentials (MUPs) of its motor units (MUs), collected during the muscle contraction. Hence, accurate estimation of a MUP template for each MU is crucial. Objective: To investigate the possibility of improv...

متن کاملA High Performance Algorithm for EMG Signal Denoising With Classification Using Multilevel Dwt
Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. An electromyography detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells when these cells are electrically or neurologically activated. The signals can be analyzed to detect medical abnormalities, activation level, or recruitment order or to analyze the biomechanics of ...
