Design of Surface Electrode Array for Measuring Conduction Velocity in the Human Genioglossus Muscle

A new appliance, incorporating linear arrays of pin electrodes for genioglossus (GG) surface electromyography measurement, is presented. This design enables the estimation of GG muscle fiber conduction velocity, which decreases with fatigue. The performance of the device was evaluated for ten health...

Description
Summary:A new appliance, incorporating linear arrays of pin electrodes for genioglossus (GG) surface electromyography measurement, is presented. This design enables the estimation of GG muscle fiber conduction velocity, which decreases with fatigue. The performance of the device was evaluated for ten healthy human subjects during fatiguing and force varying contractions
