Age-Sensitive Features for Detection of Muscle Fatigue using the High-Density Electromyogram
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-18)The processes behind fatigue development within the muscles have been a topic of interest for exercise scientists for decades. This is because fatigue is one of the primary reasons for a decrease in performance and increase ... -
Automatically Measuring Neuromuscular Jitter
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The analysis of electromyographic (EMG) signals detected during muscle contraction provides important information to aid in the diagnosis and characterization of neuromuscular disorders. One important analysis measures ... -
Characterization of Neuromuscular Disorders Using Quantitative Electromyographic Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-04)This thesis presents a multifaceted effort to develop a system that allows electrodiagnostic clinicians to perform a quantitative analysis of needle detected electromyographic (EMG) signals for characterization of neuromuscular ... -
Extracting ECG-based cardiac information from the upper arm
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-24)Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the global number one cause of death. Therefore, there is an acute need for constantly monitoring cardiac conditions and/or cardiac monitoring for extended periods. The current clinical ... -
Linear and Nonlinear Regression Techniques for Simultaneous and Proportional Myoelectric Control
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2014-03-01)In recent years the number of active controllable joints in electrically powered hand-prostheses has increased significantly. However, the control strategies for these devices in current clinical use are inadequate as they ... -
Motor Unit Characteristics after Targeted Muscle Reinnervation
(Public Library of Science, 2016-02-22)Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a surgical procedure used to redirect nerves originally controlling muscles of the amputated limb into remaining muscles above the amputation, to treat phantom limb pain and facilitate ... -
A Novel Percutaneous Electrode Implant for Improving Robustness in Advanced Myoelectric Control
(Frontiers Media, 2016-03-31)Despite several decades of research, electrically powered hand and arm prostheses are still controlled with very simple algorithms that process the surface electromyogram (EMG) of remnant muscles to achieve control of one ...
