What are the advantages of EMG?
EMG results are often necessary to help diagnose or rule out a number of conditions such as: Muscle disorders, such as muscular dystrophy or polymyositis. Diseases affecting the connection between the nerve and the muscle, such as myasthenia gravis.
What are limitations of an EMG?
Drawbacks or disadvantages of EMG sensor
➨It is used for superficial muscles only. ➨No standard electrode placement. ➨May affect movement patterns of subject. ➨Detection area may not be representative of the entire muscle.
What are the advantages of using EMG signal as a control signal for an exoskeleton?
The critical advantage of EMG-based methods is that even though the human subject is unable to generate sufficient joint torque, their intention can still be detected from residual EMG activity and consequently the exoskeleton can be controlled (Peternel et al., 2016).
What are the advantages of using surface electrodes for EMG analysis?
The advantage of surface electrodes is that they are non-invasive, and the patient need not be anesthetized before placing the electrode. The operation is simple and painless. For recording the EMG, the non-invasive electrodes are applied to the skin of the subject.
