How should we normalize electromyograms obtained from healthy participants? What we have learned from over 25 years of research
A Burden - Journal of electromyography and kinesiology, 2010 - Elsevier
Electromyograms (EMGs) need to be normalized if comparisons are sought between trials
when electrodes are reapplied, as well as between different muscles and individuals. The …
