Abstract

Electromyography, EMG is an experimental technique concerned with the development, recording and analysis of myoelectric signals. Myoelectric signals are formed by physiological variations in the state of the muscle fiber membranes. EMG is also a diagnostic method used to evaluate the muscle status and influence on the locomotor systems and human mobility. In the paper, the processes of the acquisition, processing, and comparison of the different EMG signals captured during a patient training was carried out. In result of processed data based on real surface EMG reads, the objective models of the gait cycles for different muscles were obtained to support medical and physiotherapeutic diagnosis by the computer-aided tools. After four-weeks VR game training, the gait examination based on EMG signals were performed again, to study and compare the muscle activation terms for gait cycle status improvement by the assessment in the terms of objective data-driven model.
