In recent years, surface electromyography (sEMG) signals which reflect directly human muscle activity have played a significant role in control of a lower extremity exoskeleton system. Our study concentrates on simulation and processing techniques of sEMG signal that we are applying to our exoskeleton robot. Simulation and experiment results are presented and analyzed deeply to validate the tec...

BACKGROUND Single-leg squat (SLS) is a functional test visually rated by clinicians for assessing lower limb function as a preventive injury strategy. SLS clinical rating is a qualitative evaluation and it does not count objective outcomes as kinematics data and surface electromyography (sEMG) assessment. Based on the SLS rating, the aims of this study were (i) to determine the clinical rating ...

This article reviews the current techniques of surface electromyography (SEMG) assessment. Discussed are static, dynamic, and combination assessment techniques and the rational for their use.

background: surface electromyography (semg) of muscles is a non-invasive tool that can be helpful in the assessment of muscle function and some motor control evaluations. a loss of force, known as muscle fatigue is accompanied by changes in muscle electrical activity. one of the most commonly used surface emg parameters which reflects paraspinal muscle fatigue during different tasks and positio...

Electromyography (EMG) signals are becoming increasingly important in many applications, including clinical/biomedical, prosthesis or rehabilitation devices, human machine interactions, and more. However, noisy EMG signals are the major hurdles to be overcome in order to achieve improved performance in the above applications. Detection, processing and classification analysis in electromyography...

In this paper, a real-time experimental of Hand Gesture sEMG signal for Wearable wrist watch is proposed. The raw SEMG signals been captured from SEMG amplifier, up to 8 channels of NI-DAQ card responses data will be combined and a fine tuning step by using pattern classification. The database then been build and use for real-time experimental control classification. Captured data will send thr...

Electromyography is the most objective and reliable technique for evaluating muscle function and efficiency by detecting their electrical potentials. It makes it possible to assess the extent and duration of muscle activity. The main aim of surface electromyography is to detect signals from many muscle fibers in the area of the detecting surface electrodes. These signals consist of a weighted s...

BACKGROUND The physiology of swallowing is characterized by a complex and coordinated activation of many stomatognathic, pharyngeal, and laryngeal muscles. Kinetics and electromyographic studies have widely investigated the pharyngeal and laryngeal pattern of deglutition in order to point out the differences between normal and dysphagic people. In the dental field, muscular activation during sw...

INTRODUCTION Proper ergonomic positioning in the workplace is crucial in preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) resulting from prolonged muscular fatigue. Specifically in microlaryngoscopy, surgeons often disregard proper ergonomic positioning in favor of dexterity and range of motion during surgery, leading to increased muscle fatigue through neck strain and compressive forces [1]. Similar...
