Motor Unit Distribution Estimation by Multi- Channel Surface Emg
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method for the non invasive estimation of motor unit distribution within the muscle is proposed. It is based on the surface EMG signal detected at different contraction levels in single differential configuration from an array of electrodes placed over the considered muscle in the direction orthogonal to the fibres.

EMG Based Muscle Force Estimation using Motor Unit Twitch Model and Convolution Kernel Compensation
In this paper we introduce a new method for muscle force estimation from multi-channel surface electromyograms. The method combines a motor unit twitch model with motor unit innervation pulse trains, which are estimated from multi-channel surface electromyograms. The motor unit twitches are then aligned to the innervation pulse trains and summed up to obtain the total muscle force. The method w...
متن کاملMotor Control Information Extracted from Surface EMG as Muscle Force Estimation
The aim of this paper is to introduce an extension to a force estimation technique based on activity index and to compare it to two other muscle force estimation techniques that also use the motor control information on the same set of surface EMG signals. Our new method is called motor unit twitch force technique and the compared methods include motor unit action potential rate and activity in...

متن کاملThe Independent Component Approach to the Surface Multi-channel EMGs Decomposition Method
Introduction It is electromyogram (EMG) that represents interference signals of electrical activities in many motor units (MUs). An EMG decomposition method is the procedure by which the signal is classified into its constituent motor unit action potential trains (MUAPTs). So far the classification to each MUAPT in multi-channel EMGs by means of an EMG decomposition method is directly performed...
متن کاملRecent progress in the diagnostic use of surface EMG for neurological diseases.
The different techniques to measure and analyze surface EMG are summarized with an emphasis on the clinician's point of view. The application of surface EMG in neurological disease is hampered by many inherent problems, especially the difficulties in extracting features of single motor units. However, the evolution of surface EMG from single bipolar recordings via a linear array of multiple ele...
