Model studies suggest that this requires active, feedback control, i.e., the nervous system must process sensory information on the state of the body to generate descending motor commands to the muscles to stabilize walking, especially in the mediolateral direction. Stabilization of bipedal gait is challenging and can be impaired in older and diseased individuals. In this tutorial, we illustrate how gait analysis can be used to assess the stabilizing feedback control of gait. We present methods ranging from those that require limited input data (e.g. position data of markers placed on the feet and pelvis only) to those that require full-body kinematics and electromyography. Analyses range from simple kinematics analyses to inverse dynamics. These methods assess stabilizing feedback control of human walking at three levels: 1) the level of center of mass movement and horizontal ground reaction forces, 2) the level of center of mass movement and foot placement and 3) the level of center of mass movement and the joint moments or muscle activity. We show how these can be calculated and provide a GitHub repository (<span>https://github.com/VU-HMS/Tutorial-stabilizing-walking</span><svg><path></path></svg>) which contains open access Matlab and Python code to calculate these.

Traditional needle electrodes and surface electrodes have several drawbacks making them less suitable for portable and long-term use. In contrast, emerging capacitive electrodes offer promising features over the existing electrodes. Yet, the full potential of capacitive electrodes remains untapped due to the lack of comprehensive design optimization for consistently reliable signal quality. This study highlights the complex interplay of factors influencing correlation in capacitive EMG (cEMG) and wet surface EMG (wet sEMG) signals. The study emphasizes the importance of the surface area of capacitive electrodes, muscle force, preprocessing, and sampling frequency in understanding and improving the correlation between cEMG and wet sEMG signals, providing valuable insights for future research and applications in the field. The study reveals that the electrode area has no significant effect on the correlation. However, the correlation significantly depends on the muscle force. In addition, removing artifacts from the cEMG signal increases the correlation, especially for lower force where artifacts are significant. Again, oversampling the EMG signal above 800 Hz does not have any impact on increasing the correlation but the correlation decreases with higher inter-electrode distance (IED). In this research, the highest correlation of 82.89% (normalized-91.62%) between cEMG and sEMG has been achieved for high muscle force with a plate area of 4 cm<sup>2</sup>.

Deriving the forces produced by individual muscles has applications across various fields including biomechanics, robotics, and rehabilitation. Since direct <em>in vivo</em> measurement of muscle force in humans is invasive and challenging, its estimation through non-invasive methods such as electromyography (EMG) holds considerable appeal. This matrix, developed by the Consensus for Experimental Design in Electromyography (CEDE) project, summarizes recommendations on the use of EMG to estimate muscle force. The matrix encompasses the use of bipolar surface EMG, high density surface EMG, and intra-muscular EMG (1) to identify the onset of muscle force during isometric contractions, (2) to identify the offset of muscle force during isometric contractions, (3) to identify force fluctuations during isometric contractions, (4) to estimate force during dynamic contractions, and (5) in combination with musculoskeletal models to estimate force during dynamic contractions. For each application, recommendations on the appropriateness of using EMG to estimate force and justification for each recommendation are provided. The achieved consensus makes clear that there are limited scenarios in which EMG can be used to accurately estimate muscle forces. In most cases, it remains important to consider the activation as well as the muscle state and other biomechanical and physiological factors— such as in the context of a formal mechanical model. This matrix is intended to encourage interdisciplinary discussions regarding the integration of EMG with other experimental techniques and to promote advances in the application of EMG towards developing muscle models and musculoskeletal simulations that can accurately predict muscle forces in healthy and clinical populations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56123,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 102910"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141395633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For EMG amplitude there were general increases with intensity (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.01–0.03). EMG frequency remained similar from 20% to 80% and then increased at 100 % effort (<em>p</em> = 0.02).
