PG - 6607-6610 LID - 10.1109/EMBC.2019.8857676 [doi] AB - Motor unit (MU) global firing rate is widely applied in physiological and clinical investigation. Currently it still remains difficult to measure the MU global firing rate from sEMG. In this study, we propose a new feature of maximum power amplitude (MPA) from sEMG power spectrum. Based on an analysis of mathematical model and simulated signals, MPA was demonstrated to be highly correlated with the MU global firing rate. The performance of MPA was comparable with features based on sEMG amplitude in the time domain. Moreover, the simulation results showed that the square of MPA changed accordingly with the output force, indicating potential application estimating force using MPA(2).
