RELATIONSHIP OF THE ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC SIGNAL TO MUSCLE ACTIVITY

Abstract

Experimental data was obtained by two alternate techniques on the spike frequency (spike repetition rate) in the electromyographic signal obtained with surface electrodes on the biceps of experimental subjects vs. tension developed in controlled isometric contraction of the biceps. These data when appropriately smoothed to account for non-uniformity of spike occurrence and other extraneous factors, indicate a characteristic non-linear functional dependency between spike frequency and tension developed.
