A surface EMG signal represents the linear transformation of motor neuron discharge times
by the compound action potentials of the innervated muscle fibers and is often used as a …

Movement is accomplished by the controlled activation of motor unit populations. Our
understanding of motor unit physiology has been derived from experimental work on the …

Movements are generated by the coordinated activation of motor units. Recent technological
advances have made it possible to identify the concurrent activity of several tens of motor …

The aim of this review is to present the state of the art of the technology of detection and
conditioning systems for surface electromyography (sEMG). The first part of the manuscript …

Although the behaviour of individual motor units is classically studied with intramuscular
EMG signals, recently developed techniques allow its analysis also from EMG signals …

High density-surface EMG (HD-sEMG) is a non-invasive technique to measure electrical
muscle activity with multiple (more than two) closely spaced electrodes overlying a restricted …

High-density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) can be used to measure the spatial
distribution of electrical muscle activity over the skin. As this distribution is associated with …

Background: Occupations characterized by a static low load and by repetitive actions show a
high prevalence of work‐related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) in the neck–shoulder …

Purpose Applying surface electromyography (sEMG) to the study of voice, speech, and
swallowing is becoming increasingly popular. An improved understanding of sEMG and …

In a broad view, fatigue is used to indicate a degree of weariness. On a muscular level,
fatigue posits the reduced capacity of muscle fibres to produce force, even in the presence of …
