The effect of the fatty tissue on EMG signal in young women.

The effect of the fatty tissue on EMG signal among young women

Excessive muscle load and fatigue may lead to disorders of the musculoskeletal system [1, 2]. Load and fatigue of the musculoskeletal system can be assessed with usage of non-invasive surface electromyography (EMG) [3]. Studies indicate, that the EMG signal is affected not only by muscle force and fatigue, but also by subcutaneous layer [4, 5]. Fatty tissue layer between the electrode and the m...

The Effect of Fatigue on the Postural Balance of Young Women Using Electromyography of Lower Extremity Muscles

Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of fatigue on postural balance of young women using Electromyography (EMG) of lower extremity muscles and measuring the foot plantar Center of Pressure (COP) displacement. Methods: Participants were 10 young women (mean age, 26.4±3.01 years; mean weight, 65.5±5.75 kg; mean height, 165±2.61; BMI, 24.08±2.08 kg/m2) with no history of lower limb i...

Comparative Analysis of Wavelet-based Feature Extraction for Intramuscular EMG Signal Decomposition

Background: Electromyographic (EMG) signal decomposition is the process by which an EMG signal is decomposed into its constituent motor unit potential trains (MUPTs). A major step in EMG decomposition is feature extraction in which each detected motor unit potential (MUP) is represented by a feature vector. As with any other pattern recognition system, feature extraction has a significant impac...

EMG-based Fatigue Assessment During Endurance Testing With Different VT Protocols

BACKGROUND: Muscle fatigue can be defined as the failure of a muscle to maintain a reasonably expected force output. The multivariate approach to fatigue assessment is used because the multiple (EMG) feature provides more information than anyone. OBJECTIVE: This study presents a method of assessing muscle fatigue during endurance testing at 50% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) using electro...
