Drivers with disabilities such as hemiplegia or unilateral upper limb amputation restricting steering wheel operation to one arm could encounter the challenge of stabilizing vehicles during pedestrian collision avoidance. An sEMG-controlled assistance system was developed for these drivers enable rapid rotation only healthy arm. Test were recruited use Myo armband a sEMG-based interface perform...

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a non-invasive method of measuring neuromuscular potentials generated when the brain instructs body to perform both fine and coarse locomotion. This technique has seen extensive investigation over last two decades, with significant advances in hardware signal processing methods used collect analyze sEMG signals. While early work focused mainly on medical appli...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility of surface electromyographic signal derived indexes for the prediction of weaning outcomes among mechanically ventilated subjects after cardiac surgery. METHODS A sample of 10 postsurgical adult subjects who received cardiovascular surgery that did not meet the criteria for early extubation were included. Surface electromyo...
