Abstract: | The isometric contraction is the most investigated muscle contraction, however most tasks in daily life involve anisometric contractions. Most hand prostheses studies use sEMG features to directly relate the exerted force as a means of intuitive control. It may thus be expected that similar sEMG-velocity relationships characterizing anisometric contractions may also contribute towards intuitive prosthetic hand control. While different contraction type relationships have been studied separately, in this work anisometric and isometric contraction experiments on the biceps brachii muscle were carried out using the same sEMG electrode system and the motor unit activity was then related to limb velocities and limb forces, to respectively characterize the isometric and anisometric contractions. This muscle was chosen as a simpler alternative to the synergistic hand muscles as an initial test of the general concept. |
