Simulation of surface EMG signals for a multilayer volume conductor with a superficial bone or blood vessel

Abstract

This study analytically describes surface electromyogram (EMG) signals generated by a planar multilayer volume conductor constituted by different subdomains modeling muscle, bone (or blood vessel), fat, and skin tissues. The bone is cylindrical in shape, with a semicircular section. The flat portion of the boundary of the bone subdomain is interfaced with the fat layer tissue, the remaining part of the boundary is in contact with the muscle layer. The volume conductor is a model of physiological tissues in which the bone is superficial, as in the case of the tibia bone, backbone, and bones of the forearm. The muscle fibers are considered parallel to the axes of the bone, so that the model is space invariant in the direction of propagation of the action potential. The proposed model, being analytical, allows faster simulations of surface EMG with respect to previously developed models including bone or blood vessels based on the finite-element method. Surface EMG signals are studied by simulating a library of single-fiber action potentials (SFAP) of fibers in different locations within the muscle domain, simulating the generation, propagation, and extinction of the action potential. The decay of the amplitude of the SFAPs in the...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
