Analysis of Conducting Waves Using Multi-Channel Surface EMG Depends on Difference in Shape of Electrodes

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the difference in the characteristics of the conducting waves obtained by the difference in the electrode shape and the muscle contraction state. The electrode proposed this time is one in which two kinds of electrodes of different sizes are alternately arranged in a row, eight electrodes each. The analysis was performed using the multi-channel method. From the experimental results, it was found that by making the electrode bigger, the number of conducting waves increases. Although the number of conducting waves was small with a small electrode, it was found that conducting waves of various patterns could be obtained and consider more detailed about muscle contraction.
