Abstract des Autors

A mathematical derivation for the mean frequency of a myoelectric signal (MES) is provided based on an amplitude modulation model for non-stationary MES. With this derivation, it is shown that mean frequency estimates of stationary and non-stationary myoelectric signals theoretically are not significantly different in a physiologically practical context. While this prediction is confirmed via a computer simulation, it is refuted with empirical evidence. Regardless, it is shown in a final study that mean frequency is capable of tracking a downward shift in the power spectrum with fatigue even in non-stationary myoelectric signals. Verf.-Referat
