  • Title: Effect of load, speed, and activity history on the EMG signals from the intact human muscle.
    Author: Miller N, Seireg A.
    Journal: J Bioeng; 1977 Jan; 1(2):147-55. PubMed ID: 615872.
    Abstract:
    A specially instrumented bicycle ergometer is utilized in this investigation to induce reproducable loading conditions on the muscles of the lower extremity at different speeds. Various tehcniques for evaluating the electromyographic signals from the vastas medialis muscle are investigated for different load and speed conditions and shown to be essentially equivalent. The RMS signal power computed by means of a real time spectral analyzer is shown to be a convenient means of quantification of the dynamic EMG signals. The electromyographic signals are shown to be stable under repeated static or dynamic conditions but not under sustained isometric static loading.
