Parallel recording of biomechanics and myoelectric activity for evaluation of muscle functional properties

Abstract

An attempt to obtain an optimal set of input signals-electrical stimuli with different parameters-and responses which give appropriate information for revealing complete muscle properties of measured muscle is presented. Properties of the tibialis anterior muscle were examined by muscle dynamics and muscle fatigue measurements. The results show that differences in muscle dynamics and muscle fatigue already exist among subjects with normal tibialis anterior muscle.<>
