Kinesiological Electromyography

Neuromuscular level of treatise is pursued, meaning that the motor control aspect comes into focus. In the chain of information transmission - neural impulses serving as information carriers - signal conduction takes place via neural pathways, followed by transmission of excitation to muscle fibers. Skeletal muscle function is presented as seen through its bioelectrical manifestation ; electromyographic (or myoelectric) signals (EMG), the signal being modeled in a form of an interference pattern. The method of electromyography is succinctly explained next including technical aspects of signal detection, amplification and registering. In kinesiology, primarily surface electromyography (sEMG) is used. A classical repertoire of signal processing methods in time and in frequency domain is presented next, with interpretations commonly used in biomechanics and kinesiology. It is known as kinesiological electromyography, with principal applications in the evaluation of movement skill and of local muscle fatigue.
