Abstract

The research on electromyography (EMG) signals analysis is allied with clinical/biomedical applications, evolvable hardware chip (EHW) development, and modern human computer interaction era. EMG signals acquired from muscles require advanced methods for detection, decomposition, processing, and classification. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the capturing phenomenon of EMG Signal introducing instrumental activity. It further point up some ideas about the block diagram of the EMG Signal recording instrument and the procedural approach towards the EMG recording techniques, provide efficient and effective ways of understanding the signal and its nature. The clinical real-time activity of EMG recording for biceps brachii muscle is presented with flow diagram. This paper provides researchers concrete and valuable information of EMG signal and its analysis procedures.
