Background Electromyography (EMG) is a classical technique used to record electrical
activity associated with muscle contraction and is widely applied in Biomechanics …

Background: In order to reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs)
several methods have been developed, accepted by the international literature and used in …

This second edition of The Illustrated Wavelet Transform Handbook: Introductory Theory and
Applications in Science, Engineering, Medicine and Finance has been fully updated and …

Voluntary surface electromyogram (EMG) signal is sometimes contaminated by spurious
background spikes of both physiological and extrinsic or accidental origins. A novel method …

Background The accurate temporal analysis of muscle activation is of great interest in many
research areas, spanning from neurorobotic systems to the assessment of altered …

The assessment of muscle-recruitment timing from electromyography (EMG) signal is
relevant in different fields, including clinical gait analysis and robotic systems to interpret …

Estimation of on–off timing of human skeletal muscles during movement is an ongoing issue
in surface electromyography (sEMG) signal processing for relevant clinical applications …

In this paper, we propose an alternative onset detection method dealing with pathological,
weak and noisy myoelectric signals. We evaluate our method on simulated, offline EMG …

Background: Muscular-activity timing is useful information that is extractable from surface
EMG signals (sEMG). However, a reference method is not available yet. The aim of this …

Wavelet transform (WT) has recently drawn the attention of the researchers due to its
potential in electromyography (EMG) recognition system. However, the optimal mother …
