A MULTICHANNEL WIRELESS EMG MEASUREMENT SYSTEM BASED ON INTRABODY COMMUNICATION
Zeljka Lucev, Igor Krois, Mario Cifrek
Abstract:
In this paper we present the novel implementation of the intrabody communication (IBC) system that was specially designed for electromyography (EMG) measurements in kinesiology, sports medicine and rehabilitation. We propose a novel approach to the wireless EMG monitoring system design, which prolongs the battery life by minimizing the power consumption requirements for data transmission. This goal was achieved by a capacitive IBC approach and by developing special-purpose ultra-low power hardware modules, which perform tasks of digital signal modulation and demodulation at a very low-level. We investigate the optimal electrodes placement for IBC and present the results of in vivo measurements.
