Project Description
The primary objective of this research is to analyze human upper-limb kinematics and skin surface electromyogram (EMG) during activities of daily living. Using physiological signals, such as EMG or EEG signals, to control robotic devices for providing rehabilitation therapy is the leading technology of this modern era. These signals contain biological information of the user and directly reflect the user’s intention of moving. Healthy human individuals will participate in this study. A motion capture system will be integrated to analyze the movement of daily activities while EMG signals are simultaneously recorded.
