Abstract des Autors
A measure of the variation of load on individual muscles or parts of muscles may be obtained by estimating the amplitude probability distribution function (APDF) of the myoelectric signal. In a study of elbow flexor muscular performance in static and intermittent static low level muscular contractions, the APDF was computed from the surface EMG obtained from the belly of the brachial biceps muscle. The APDF was also computed from the simultaneously recorded force signal. The APDF of the myoelectric signal and of the force signal were similar indicating that the APDF of the myoelectric signal closely reflects the muscular load in nonfatiguing muscular contractions. The effect of the time constant in lowpass filtering when processing the surface EMG-signals was also studied. A suitable time constant appears to be the range of 50-100 ms.
