Movement devices (EMG)

The use of surface Electromyography (sEMG) is widely spread in motor sciences and sport contexts because sEMG signals provide many indications about the neuromuscular system, both at central and peripheral levels, and are strictly correlated to the movement biomechanics. Despite its great potential, the collection of high-quality sEMG signals is particularly challenging in contexts (e.g. sport) where a portable, wearable, and minimally cumbersome experimental setup is needed. This talk will describe state-of-the-art technology, current research efforts and future perspectives related to the acquisition of high-quality sEMG signals.
