INTRODUCTION The surface electromyogram (EMG) is a highly complex, structured signal. It contains a wealth of information on both the state of the muscle and on the central nervous system control patterns that govern its activation. Identifying the information that can be extracted reliably from the EMG signal and determining the optimal recording and analysis methods to achieve this, remains a...

BACKGROUND The electrocardiogram artifact is a major contamination in the electromyogram signals when electromyogram signal is recorded from upper trunk muscles and because of that the contaminated electromyogram is not useful. Objective : Removing electrocardiogram contamination from electromyogram signals. METHODS In this paper, the clean electromyogram signal, electrocardiogram artifact an...
