    Precise quantification of the time course of voluntary activation capacity following Botulinum toxin injections in the biceps brachii muscles of chronic stroke survivors

    Spasticity is a key motor impairment that affects many hemispheric stroke survivors. Intramuscular botulinum toxin (BT) injections are used widely to clinically manage spasticity-related symptoms in stroke sur...

    Identifying Spinal Lesion Site from Surface EMG Grid Recordings

    Human spinal cord injuries (SCI) disrupt the pathways between the brain and spinal cord, resulting in substantial impairment and loss of function. We recorded surface electromyogram signals (sEMG) using grids ...

    Effect of Electrode Size on Amplitude Estimation of HDsEMG Maps

    The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effect of the electrode size on recorded High Density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) maps. We recorded the sEMG signals using a grid of electrodes (16 × 8) placed...

    Introduction to EMG for the Study of Movement: From Bipolar to High-Density

    Appropriate inter-electrode distance (IED) is needed to enable the reconstruction of detailed muscle activity and obtain correct map’s features of a High Density surface EMG (HDsEMG). The spatial frequency ban...
