Questions and Answers

What is a key aspect of the paper's focus on addressing barriers to the translation of sEMG?

  • Overcoming the perceived complexity of sEMG (correct)
  • Promoting the exclusive use of intramuscular EMG
  • Highlighting the disadvantages of sEMG in clinical settings
  • Emphasizing the limitations of sEMG technology

    • Why is sEMG often considered more complex to analyze compared to intramuscular EMG?

  • It requires specialized equipment not commonly available
  • It provides inaccurate measurements of muscle function
  • Parameters of direct clinical relevance cannot be readily extracted from its signal (correct)
  • It lacks direct clinical relevance in muscle activity assessment

    • How can surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals provide valuable information on muscle function?

  • Through extraction of parameters directly relevant to clinical decision-making (correct)
  • By acoustically indicating local muscle fatigue
  • By visually representing muscle activation patterns
  • By measuring mechanical manipulation of muscles

    • In what way can wearable sensing technologies impact the recording of movement and EMG data?
