Interpreting Signal Amplitudes in Surface Electromyography Studies in Sport and Rehabilitation Sciences

Interpreting Signal Amplitudes in Surface Electromyography Studies in Sport and Rehabilitation Sciences

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a popular research tool in sport and rehabilitation sciences. Common study designs include the comparison of sEMG amplitudes collected from different muscles as participants perform various exercises and techniques under different loads. Based on such comparisons,...
