Automatic analysis and classification of surface electromyography

Frontiers of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2001
In this paper, parametric modeling of surface electromyography (EMG) algorithms that facilitates automatic SEMG feature extraction and artificial neural networks (ANN) are combined for providing an integrated system for the automatic analysis and diagnosis of myopathic disorders.

Gesture control by wrist surface electromyography

2015 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communication Workshops (PerCom Workshops), 2015
Surface electromyography (SEMG) systems are able to effectively sense muscle activity, irrespective of any apparent body motion, in a highly convenient and non-intrusive manner. These advantages make SEMG based systems highly attractive for use as a human computer interface.

The use of surface electromyography in dysphagia evaluation

Technology and Health Care, 2017
Dysphagic patients usually have a variety of clinical problems such as malnutrition, significant weight loss, and aspiration pneumonia. Dysphagia is a complication commonly caused by strokes, and surface electromyography (sEMG) provides a simple, non-radioactive, and non-invasive method to measure the patterns of muscle activity during swallowing ...

Uncommon Surface Electromyography

Biofeedback, 2010
Abstract Surface electromyography (SEMG) can be used as a tool to help gain the return/discovery of motor function in those with disabilities. This article presents the case of “Joey,” an 18-month-old toddler. An already challenging case due to age is made even more difficult considering his genetically based multiple impairments. SEMG provided

The Clinical Use of Multichannel Surface Electromyography

Pediatrics International, 1991
Surface EMG motor unit action potentials (MUAPs), recorded with “array” or “matrix” types of electrodes, can be seen to propagate from the motor end plates in both directions along the muscle fibers. We attempted to obtain diagnostic information in muscle disease by using the multichannel surface EMG. The subjects examined were 28 normal controls (5–40

Surface Electromyography to Study Muscle Coordination

2016
Electromyography (EMG) records the electrical activity that is generated as action potentials propagate along the length of muscle fibers. As such surface EMG is the research tool that is used in a vast majority of the works that assess muscle coordination in health and disease. Although surface EMG recordings can provide valuable information regarding

Anatomical and Technical Considerations in Surface Electromyography

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 1998
Despite the technical and clinical limitations of surface EMG, it is essential in the physical medicine and rehabilitation field. Surface EMG has evolved from a secondary means of clinical assessment to a primary factor in determining and predicting clinical outcomes.

Surface electromyography and mouse use position

Ergonomics, 1997
This study examines muscle tension and subjective muscle tension awareness while using a computer mouse positioned to the right of a standard computer keyboard and a centrally positioned trackball. Seventeen volunteer subjects experienced in mouse and trackball use were seated at an ergonomically adjusted workstation.

Validity of surface electromyography for vastus intermedius muscle assessed by needle electromyography

Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 2011
Recently, a new recording technique for surface electromyography (EMG) of the deeper muscle component of the quadriceps femoris muscle group, i.e., vastus intermedius (VI) muscle, from the distal portion of the VI muscle has been developed; however, the effect of electrode location on EMG signal of the VI muscle remains unclear.

[Surface electromyography procedure].

Revue medicale de Liege, 2004
Surface electromyography (SEMG) is not yet able to substitute needle EMG for diagnosing neuromuscular diseases in our current clinical neurophysiological practice. Several research groups have been working to reach this goal. Thus, we already have available, though imperfect and open to criticism, tools to apply SEMG to follow-up studies of ...
