Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The use of linear or bi-dimensional electrode arrays for surface EMG detection (HD-sEMG) is gaining attention as it increases the amount and reliability of information extracted from the surface EMG. However, the complexity of the setup and the encumbrance of HD-sEMG hardware currently limits its use in dynamic conditions. The aim of this paper was to develop a miniaturized, wireless, and modular HD-sEMG acquisition system for applications requiring high portability and robustness to movement artifacts. METHODS: A system with modular architecture was designed. Its core is a miniaturized 32-channel amplifier (Sensor Unit - SU) sampling at 2048 sps/ch with 16 bit resolution and wirelessly transmitting data to a PC or a mobile device. Each SU is a node of a Body Sensor Network for the synchronous signal acquisition from different muscles. RESULTS: and high performance in terms of rejection of power-line interference and motion artefacts. Tests performed on two SUs showed no data loss in a 22 m range and a ±500 μs maximum synchronization delay. CONCLUSIONS: Data collected in a wide spectrum of experimental conditions confirmed the functionality of the designed architecture and the quality of the acquired signals. SIGNIFICANCE: By simplifying the experimental setup, reducing the hardware encumbrance, and improving signal quality during dynamic contractions, the developed system opens new perspectives in the use of HD-sEMG in applied and clinical settings.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
