Recent work demonstrated that it is possible to identify motor unit discharge times from high-
density surface EMG (HDEMG) decomposition. Since then, the number of studies that use …

The world population is ageing rapidly. As society ages, the incidence of physical limitations
is dramatically increasing, which reduces the quality of life and increases healthcare …

Recent decades have seen a move toward evidence-based medicine to inform the clinical
decision-making process with reproducible findings from high-quality research studies …

ABSTRACT A decade ago, a group of researchers from academia and industry identified a
dichotomy between the industrial and academic state-of-the-art in upper-limb prosthesis …

Objective. A signal-based metric for assessment of accuracy of motor unit (MU) identification
from high-density surface electromyograms (EMG) is introduced. This metric, so-called pulse …

A surface EMG signal represents the linear transformation of motor neuron discharge times
by the compound action potentials of the innervated muscle fibers and is often used as a …

Movements are generated by the coordinated activation of motor units. Recent technological
advances have made it possible to identify the concurrent activity of several tens of motor …

This study presents a progressive FastICA peel-off (PFP) framework for high-density surface
electromyogram (EMG) decomposition. The novel framework is based on a shift-invariant …

Motor units are the smallest functional units of our movements. The study of their activation
provides a window into the mechanisms of neural control of movement in humans. The …

Muscle fatigue is a temporary decline in the force and power capacity of skeletal muscle
resulting from muscle activity. Because control of muscle is realized at the level of the motor …
