sEMG-Based Muscle Synergy Analysis and Functional Driving Ratio for Quantitative Assessment During Robot-Assisted Upper-Limb Rehabilitation [PDF]
SensorsSurface electromyography (sEMG) provides a non-invasive measure of the neural drive transmitted from the central nervous system to muscles by capturing the spatiotemporal summation of motor unit action potentials at the skin surface, and is therefore ...
