EMG Signal Analysis on Flexion Extension Movements of The Hand and Leg Using Matlab

Abstract

Muscle Spiker Shield is a tool used to record electrical signals generated by the muscles of the human body. These signals can provide important information about the health and activities of organisms, especially humans. As technology advances, more and more devices can be used to record the activity of these signals, including the Muscle Spiker Shield. One of the uses of the Muscle Spiker Shield is to monitor muscle wave activity. Human muscle waves are electrical signals generated by muscles and can provide information about the state of a person's movement activity. Monitoring human muscle wave activity can help in various fields, such as medicine, psychology, and sports. Currently, an electromyograph has been developed which functions as a voltage meter for all muscles to detect muscles in a state of tension and relaxation with the help of a microcontroller. On the Electromyography signal output then to the Arduino uno microcontroller. When using the Muscle Spiker Shield tool with MATLAB, the signals recorded by the tool are imported into the MATLAB software. Then, the data can be processed using various signal analysis techniques, such as filtering, peak detection and statistical processing. Some of the applications that can be done are monitoring leg and hand muscle wave activity during meditation, monitoring muscle wave activity to determine a person's movements, and monitoring muscle wave activity during exercise.
