Abstract
We have tried to analyze the SEMG interference pattern quantitatively and automatically using T/A variables ZC, TN, mSA, mSD, UCA, AIPEA, ACT and NSS. For the analysis, we have carried out experiments on 14 SEMG interference patterns recorded from the biceps brachii, first dorsal interosseus and abductor policis brevis muscles. Emphasis was placed on the following 3 points in the experiments. 1) Suitable amplitude threshold for the automatic detection of the T/A variables. 2) Variation of the T/A variables to varying $\%$MVC. 3) Variation of the T/A variables to the sustained contraction for 30 seconds. Results of the experiments showed that T/A analysis of the SEMG interference Pattern can be effective tools for diagnostic purposes instead of the conventional NEMG method.
