Towards identification of finger flexions using single channel surface electromyography – able bodied and amputee subjects

This research has established a method for using single channel surface electromyogram (sEMG) recorded from the forearm to identify individual finger flexion. The technique uses the volume conduction properties of the tissues and uses the magnitude and density of the singularities in the signal as a measure of strength of the muscle activity.SEMG was recorded from the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle during four different finger flexions....
