Title: EMG-based Monitoring Muscle Contraction Force to Determine Most Effective Exercise
Abstract: Abstract —Electromyography (EMG) signals have been widely applied in fields of biomedical, clinical and human-machine interface [1]. And surface EMG (sEMG) technology could provide a non-invasive way to detect the stimulation degree of muscles and enable the control of artificial limbs. In this research, the main focus lies on one of the social problems—sedentariness. With the development of internet and electronic economy, computing time has undergone a steady increase around the globe, which extends the job time in long-term sitting [2]. Together with some non-ergonomic designs of chairs, many officers might experience an abnormal sitting posture and get injured in their muscles unconsciously. To scope the phenomenon in detail, a simulation is applied to reappear the condition of sedentariness of a common office worker. And a series of easily achieved movements were investigated to find out the corresponding effect in muscle exercise to compensate the negative influence caused by long-term sitting.
