It was observed that certain myoelectric surface
potentials are of a pulse nature. The pulses have nearly
the same exact waveshape, but are asynchronously
repetitive.
Physiological evidence indicated that myoelectric
pulses are concurrent with the activity of a small unit
of organized muscle fibres (motor unit). The electrical
activity of...
The presence of residual muscular tension has been implicated
as a detrimental influence on the performance and learning of motor
skills. A method for reducing muscular tension has been provided by
the recent advent of biofeedback training. Thirty young adult males
were subjected to tests of stabilometer balancing skill and...
A computer model simulating the electrical activity of muscles of the upper
arm during elbow motion is presented. The output of the model is an
Electromyographic (EMG) signal. System identification is performed on the EMG
signals using autoregressive moving average (ARMA) modelling. The calculated
ARMA coefficients are then used as...
