Introduction The potential development of a smart autonomous cochlear implant (CI) would greatly depend on reliable and objective fitting methodology. One promising approach is the intra-muscular recording electromyographic (EMG) signals within stapedius muscle (SM) for detecting reflex (SR).

The objective of this study was to investigate whether and how changes in the mode of respiration affect the electromyographic activity of human jaw-closing muscles. Fifteen men were examined in this study. A pair of surface electrodes was attached bilaterally to the masseter and anterior and posterior temporalis muscles for electromyographic recording. Respiratory movements of the chest wall a...

Mechanisms associated with energy expenditure during gait have been extensively researched and studied. According to the double-inverted pendulum model energy expenditure is higher during double support, as lower limbs need to work to redirect the centre of mass velocity. This study looks into how the ground reaction force of one limb affects the muscle activity required by the medial gastrocne...

[Purpose] This study investigated the influence of the indoor horseback riding exercise on the electromyographic activity of the lower extremity and balance during one-leg standing. [Subjects] Twenty normal adults were divided into an indoor horseback riding exercise group (IHREG, n=10), which performed the indoor horseback riding exercise using equipment 3 times a week for 3 weeks, and a contr...

The aim of this work is to provide jugglers with gestural control of music. This is based on the willing to control music by recycling mastered gestures generated by another art. Therefore we propose the use of a gestural acquisition system based on the processing of the electromyographic signal. The recordings are done during a three-ball cascade, of electromyogram from chosen muscles, which p...
