چکیده
In the paper we report on our results in the EMG-net INCO Copernicus project. We discuss different data representation formats used for collection and management of electromyography (EMG) data. Data representation is described in the context of the proposed multifunctional platform for EMG studies. The platform architecture consists of four layers: data collection, data analysis, learning and education. We concentrate on the data collection layer, which is realised by a set of software tools for collection of data about EMG examination cases (EMMA tool) and EMG normative data (NoDAM Normative Data Manager and NoDAC Normative Data Client tools).

Ergonomic Evaluation of Relationship between Electromyographic Activity in Selected Trunk Muscles and Back Discomfort While Working with a Laptop in a Sitting Position
Introduction: Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders leading to disability around the world. Several studies have suggested that prolonged computer/ laptop work contributes to the development of low back pain and discomfort. The results of the studies conducted on the association of back discomfort and muscle activity are contradictory. Thus, the present study aims to...
متن کاملNeural Network Screening of Electromyographic Signals as the First Phase to Design Novel Human-Computer Interaction
The present aim was to describe the first phase attempts to recognise voluntarily produced changes in electromyographic signals measured from two facial muscles. Thirty subjects voluntarily activated two facial muscles, corrugator supercilii and zygomaticus major. We designed a neural network based recognition system that screened out muscle activations from the electromyographic signals. When ...
متن کاملComparing the Effects of Plyometric Training with and without Vessel Occlusion on Electromyographic Parameters
Purpose: Doing plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion is an effective practice for rapid increase of muscles strength their hypertrophy. We evaluated the effects of plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion on electromyographic parameters. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 22 females were selected through convenience sampling method. They were random...

Purpose: The current study aimed at evaluating the effect of 5-toed shoes on electromyographic activity of leg muscles during the stance phase of running. Methods: The current semi-experimental study recorded the electromyographic activity of tibialis anterior, soleus, gastrocnemius lateralis, and medialis muscles of 15 healthy male students (mean age: 24.5±3.4 years, mean height:...
متن کاملEstimation of fundamental frequency from surface electromyographic data: EMG-to-F0
In this paper, we present our recent studies of F0 estimation from the surface electromyographic (EMG) data using a Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based voice conversion (VC) technique, referred to as EMG-to-F0. In our approach, a support vector machine recognizes individual frames as unvoiced and voiced (U/V), and voiced F0 contours are discriminated by the trained GMMbased on the manner of mini...
