EMG Modeling and Simulation
This chapter outlines the main components that should be considered in the
development of physiologically based models of surface electromyographic
(sEMG). One of the challenges in increasing the accuracy of current sEMG
models is the correct identification of the model parameters. Parameter
identification is particularly difficult for systems such as this in which it
is not possible to accurately measure all of the physiological, anatomical,
and physical properties of the system. The chapter explores the simulation of
intramuscular EMG, in particular for clinical applications. One of the primary
purposes of a modeling approach is to identify the mechanisms responsible for
experimental observations. A successful EMG model can thereby help the
researcher to relate the recorded electrical signal to the underlying
processes associated with muscle contraction. Model validation remains one of
the most challenging areas in EMG modeling.

Muscle Coordination, Motor Synergies, and Primitives from Surface EMG
To investigate neural control strategies, muscle activity must be measured
during motor behavior. Recent advances in the investigation of the neural
control of movement have led to a re-examination of the mechanisms of
sensorimotor integration in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the spinal
circuitry in particular. This chapter considers different approaches used to
uncover the modular organization of the motor output in human behaviors such
as responding to postural perturbations, reaching with the arm, and
locomotion, as well as its plasticity and flexibility in movement disorders.
It also investigates the strategies that the CNS employs to coordinate the
activation of many muscles start from electromyographic (EMG) signals recorded
simultaneously from many muscles. Different muscle synergies models are used
to decompose the EMG envelopes using appropriate factorization algorithms. The
chapter further considers the spatiotemporal organization of the activity
patterns of leg and trunk muscles during locomotion.

Surface Electromyography for MAN-Machine Interfacing in Rehabilitation Technologies
This chapter describes the use of surface electromyography (EMG) for
establishing intuitive man-machine interfaces for rehabilitation settings and
technologies. The EMG is primarily used as source of neural information, to
provide control signals for external devices. The chapter also describes the
general concepts underlying the extraction of control signals from surface EMG
recordings. It presents examples of neurorehabilitation technologies based on
surface EMG. The surface EMG signal can be used to trigger or continuously
control external assistive devices including powered orthoses and prostheses.
The chapter outlines representative examples of neurotechnologies that make
use of EMG signals for device control purposes. It provides examples in the
three main areas of neurorehabilitation: replacement, restoration, and
neuromodulation. EMG signals were recorded from seven muscles including:
vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, lateral hamstrings, medial
hamstrings, gastrocnemius medialis, and gastrocnemius lateralis.

Detection and Conditioning of Surface EMG Signals
This chapter presents the detection and conditioning of surface
electromyographic (EMG) signals. More advanced techniques are now widely used
in research laboratories and are being adopted in clinical settings. Such
techniques are based on multichannel detection by means of one dimensional
(1-D) or two dimensional (2-D) electrode arrays. The chapter describes the
electrode-skin interface and the front-end amplifier stage. The impedance
between two electrodes is the sum of two electrode-skin impedances plus the
interposed tissue impedance. Conventional electrodes, either wet or dry,
behave like transducers converting ionic current (in tissue and gel) into flow
of electrons in the metal. These electrical sensors require a careful skin
preparation to reduce the impedance and noise associated to this interface.
The biomedical sector offers small-sized, high-cost application-specific
integrated circuits (ASIC) devices for biopotential measurements. Applications
are expected to range from physiopathological investigations, to
rehabilitation games, biofeedback applications, and sport training.

Techniques for Information Extraction from the Surface EMG Signalhigh-Density Surface EMG
This chapter deals with the information that can be extracted from images
obtained when electrode grids are applied to the skin above muscles with
different architectures. The interpretation of these images, and therefore the
information obtainable, depends on the muscle architecture and fiber
arrangement. The action potentials propagating along muscle fibers generate
electric fields in the surrounding conductive medium. The chapter deals with
the surface EMG instantaneous images, with the feature images, and with the
spatiotemporal images. It provides examples on the information that may be
obtained from high-density surface EMG (HD-EMGs) detected from muscles with
pinnate architecture. Two main fields of research application of HDsEMG may be
identified such as surface EMG imaging and surface EMG decomposition. From the
clinical point of view, the expected developments concern more extensive
applications in biofeedback and monitoring of the neuromuscular system for
prevention purposes and automatic detection of the innervation zone.
-
Surface EMG Decomposition
This chapter provides an overview of surface EMG decomposition techniques,
along with their basic assumptions, properties, and limitations. Surface
electrodes measure the electrical activity of several nearby muscle fibers
that are active during a muscle contraction. The electrical activity of each
fiber can be described by a single fiber action potential (SFAP) that
propagates from the neuromuscular junction towards the tendons. There is large
diversity of decomposition techniques that can roughly be categorized either
as template matching or latent component analysis (blind source separation)
approaches. Decomposition of surface EMG is a powerful tool enabling
noninvasive insight not only into muscle control strategies, but also into
peripheral muscle properties. It provides unambiguous information on
physiological parameters of individual motor units that can easily be
interpreted. The identification of motor units (MUs) discharge patterns from
surface EMG signals, acquired during dynamic muscle contractions, needs to be
addressed.

Electromyography-Driven Modeling for Simulating Subject-Specific Movement at the Neuromusculoskeletal Level
This chapter provides a comprehensive description of subject-specific
electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal models for the human lower
extremity. EMG-driven modeling requires experimental human motion data to be
captured for model calibration and operation. A musculoskeletal model is
created from medical imaging data of bone and muscle surfaces, such as
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography. The multi-degrees of
freedom (DOFs) model comprises five main components: musculotendon kinematics,
musculotendon activation, musculotendon dynamics, moment computation, and
model calibration. The chapter demonstrates the use of EMG-driven modeling to
predict musculotendon units (MTUs) forces and the resulting joint moments
about multiple DOFs during dynamic motor tasks. It outlines the use of EMG-
driven modeling for applications in neurorehabilitation technologies. EMG-
driven methodologies can be successfully applied to study dynamic tasks that
involve muscle co-contraction. EMG-informed predictions of muscle forces
acting on the hip have been also used to improve estimates of bone remodeling
stimulus.

Biophysics of the Generation of EMG Signals
This chapter describes the basic concepts of generation and detection of EMG
signals. Specific emphasis is devoted to the generation of muscle fiber action
potentials at the fiber end plates, their propagation along the sarcolemma,
and their extinction at the tendons. The chapter addresses the topics of
crosstalk between nearby muscles and selectivity of the recording systems. It
discusses the relationships between muscle force and the surface EMG. The EMG
signal is generated by the electrical activity of the muscle fibers active
during a contraction. The signal sources are the depolarizing and repolarizing
zones of the muscle fibers. EMG signal features depend on a number of
anatomical, physical, and detection system parameters. Considering all the
factors related to the volume conductor and the signal sources that influence
the characteristics of the EMG signal, a reliable relation between EMG
amplitude and force needs a subject specific and condition specific
calibration.
