Electromyography quantifies the action of muscles and the data provides an understanding of how coordination occurs during an action. This concurrent comparison research study evaluated electromyography signals from surface and fine-wire electrodes placed simultaneously on selected shoulder muscles. A stand-alone data logger collected electromyography signals from both types of electrodes place...

Abstract Electrical stimulation is a tool that has been used in various ways the rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries. Surface i.e. electromyography an effective method for assessing many conditions which patient is. Objective: To evaluate benefits through neuromuscular electrostimulation patients with injury and possible neuroplasticity gain observed electromyography. Method: This pilot stud...

The electrocardiography (ECG) artifact corrupts the surface electromyography (sEMG) signals recorded from the trunk area We assessed the effectiveness of three methods used to remove the ECG. We compared the performance of bandpass filtering methods, the commonly used mathematical morphology operator (MMO) method and the Adaptive filter on both simulationed and real sEMG data. False positive an...

This paper represents the first part of our work in which a successful exoskeleton system has been designed. With this design, the concentration is on effects of compliant human – exoskeleton robot on kinematics and muscle activity during human walking with or without carrying loads. In order to achieve these aims, two control methods are used: kinematic and surface electromyography (sEMG) – ba...

Background: the use of a technological resource in fluency promotion. Aim: to verify the effectiveness of a stuttering treatment based on the use of surface electromyography (SEMG) exclusively. Method: participants were four stuttering adults of both genders. Assessment, pre and post-treatment, consisted of a speech gathering session and the analyses of the rest tension and of the reaction time...

This paper presents a brief description of surface electromyography (sEMG), what it can be used for, as well as some of the problems associated with visual displays of sEMG data. Sonifications of sEMG data have shown potential for certain applications in data monitoring and movement training, however there are still challenges related to the design of these sonifications that need to be address...
