This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents results of various investigations which lead to developing new methods to better extract motor control information from the surface electromyogram (EMG) signals. In particular, it focuses on estimating the number of motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) contained in the surface EMG. This number combines the information about motor unit recruitment and firing rate, directly reflecting the neural command from central nervous system to control the muscle.

Download or read book Atlas of Muscle Innervation Zones written by Marco Barbero and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-04 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive electromyography is a well-established diagnostic tool that has been used for decades by neurologists. Recently, new and alternative devices have increasingly become available that permit diagnosis without the use of needles. This developing area of science and the new tools have not, however, been sufficiently investigated in academic training. Consequently a gap exists between what science is making possible and the competence acquired during graduate studies. This handy volume has the aim of filling this gap by providing the information required by medical practitioners in rehabilitation, sports, and occupational health as well as by rehabilitation therapists, ergonomists, and sport coaches. The techniques that are presented and explained will help in monitoring and recording changes, evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and training, evaluating work stations, and preventing and documenting the evolution of occupational disorders of the neuromuscular system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete overview of electromyography with contributions from pacesetters in the field In recent years, insights from the field of engineering have illuminated the vast potential of electromyography (EMG) in biomedical technology. Featuring contributions from key innovators working in the field today, Electromyography reveals the broad applications of EMG data in areas as diverse as neurology, ergonomics, exercise physiology, rehabilitation, movement analysis, biofeedback, and myoelectric control of prosthesis. Bridging the gap between engineering and physiology, this pioneering volume explains the essential concepts needed to detect, understand, process, and interpret EMG signals using non-invasive electrodes. Electromyography shows how engineering tools such as models and signal processing methods can greatly augment the insight provided by surface EMG signals. Topics covered include: Basic physiology and biophysics of EMG generation Needle and surface electrode detection techniques Signal conditioning and processing issues Single- and multi-channel techniques for information extraction Development and application of physical models Advanced signal processing techniques With its fresh engineering perspective, Electromyography offers physiologists, medical professionals, and students in biomedical engineering a new window into the far-reaching possibilities of this dynamic technology.

Download or read book Locating Skeletal Muscle Motor Units from Surface Electromyograms written by Vignesh Sankaran and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muscle activity in the human body leads to the creation of electrical activity that arises due to changes in the ionic potentials of muscle fibers comprising relevant motor units. A measured surface electromyogram (sEMG) signal is composed of the summation of the action potentials of its component muscle fibers. The location of each muscle fiber has an effect on this measured signal. This measure is also affected greatly by electrode characteristics and muscle fiber properties. Due to the large number of variable factors affecting sEMG measurements and the difficulty in quantifying these, it is extremely difficult to obtain motor unit positions using current methods. This thesis provides an approach to measure the position of a muscle motor unit by using the measured signal from multiple electrodes. This method of estimating the position is then implemented and tested on muscle units in the human forearm.

Download or read book Electromyography for Experimentalists written by Gerald E. Loeb and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technique of electromyography, used to study the electrical currents generated by muscle action, has become invaluable to researchers in the biological, medical, and behavioral sciences. With it, the scientist can study the role of muscles in producing and controlling limb movement, eating, breathing, posture, vocalizations, and the manipulation of objects. However, many electromyographic techniques were developed in the clinical study of humans and are inappropriate for use in research on other organisms--tadpoles, for example. This book, a complete and very practical hands-on guide to the theoretical and experimental requirements of electromyography, takes into account the needs of researchers across the sciences.
