During digitization of surface EMG, the signal is converted by an Analog-to-Digital (A/D) convertor at a specific sampling rate. This sampling rate should be selected cautiously because a high rate may include noise signals and a low rate may lead to errors. The present study was undertaken to show the effect of sampling rate on EMG power spectrum. The study was carried out on nine subjects and EMG record was done from deltoid muscle at sampling rates of 4, 6, 8 and 10 KHz during maximal voluntary contraction. Biopotential coupler with a response range of 5 Hz to 2 KHz was used during recording of the EMG signal which was processed later by Fast Fourier Transform software. The study showed a linear relationship between the sampling rate and the mean power frequency (MPF). But there was no distinct effect of sampling rate on mean and root mean square (RMS) of the digitized signal.

D009119 Muscle Contraction A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.

D004576 Electromyography Recording of the changes in electric potential of muscle by means of surface or needle electrodes. Electromyogram,Surface Electromyography,Electromyograms,Electromyographies,Electromyographies, Surface,Electromyography, Surface,Surface Electromyographies
D005583 Fourier Analysis Analysis based on the mathematical function first formulated by Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Fourier in 1807. The function, known as the Fourier transform, describes the sinusoidal pattern of any fluctuating pattern in the physical world in terms of its amplitude and its phase. It has broad applications in biomedicine, e.g., analysis of the x-ray crystallography data pivotal in identifying the double helical nature of DNA and in analysis of other molecules, including viruses, and the modified back-projection algorithm universally used in computerized tomography imaging, etc. (From Segen, The Dictionary of Modern Medicine, 1992) Fourier Series,Fourier Transform,Analysis, Cyclic,Analysis, Fourier,Cyclic Analysis,Analyses, Cyclic,Cyclic Analyses,Series, Fourier,Transform, Fourier
