: The lumbar stabilization exercise is one of the most recommended treatments in medical professionals for patients suffering from low back pain. However, because lumbar stabilization exercise is calisthenics, it is challenging to perform because of ...
Surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals are widely employed as a neural control source for lower-limb exoskeletons, in which gait recognition based on sEMG is particularly important. Many scholars have taken measures to improve the accuracy of gait rec...
This study proposes a new index to measure the resilience of an individual to stress, based on the changes of specific physiological variables. These variables include electromyography, which is the muscle response, blood volume pulse, breathing rate...
The efficacy of an adopted feature extraction method directly affects the classification of the electromyographic (EMG) signals in myoelectric control applications. Most methods attempt to extract the dynamics of the multi-channel EMG signals in the ...
The aim of the present study was to predict the kinematics of the knee and the ankle joints during a squat training task of different intensities. Lower limb surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals and the 3-D kinematics of lower extremity joints we...

Neural information decomposed from electromyography (EMG) signals provides a new path of EMG-based human-machine interface. Instead of the motor unit decomposition-based method, this work presents a novel neural interface for human gait tracking base...
Brain responsiveness to stimulation fluctuates with rapidly shifting cortical excitability state, as reflected by oscillations in the electroencephalogram (EEG). For example, the amplitude of motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by transcranial ma...
