Prediction of hand grip strength based on surface electromyographic signals

Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2023
The activity status of muscles in real-time should be obtained in hand rehabilitation training to adjust the auxiliary grip-strength value with a good hand grip-strength prediction model. Surface electromyography (sEMG) has great advantages in reflecting
