Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Physiology
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Underwater surface electromyography (EMG) traditionally uses waterproof tape on electrodes.
  • Waterproof tape is effective for short-term measurements but can fail during prolonged recordings.
  • Water or sweat contact with electrodes alters measurement conditions and affects EMG data quality over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for prolonged underwater surface EMG recording.
  • To estimate dry-land EMG signals from underwater EMG recordings using non-waterproofed electrodes.
  • To utilize system identification techniques for accurate underwater EMG analysis.

Main Methods:

  • System identification was employed to transform underwater EMG signals into estimated dry-land signals.
  • Transfer functions were derived using parallel pairs of surface recording electrodes on the same muscle.
  • Non-waterproofed electrodes served as system input, while waterproofed electrodes provided the output (assumed dry-land signal).

Main Results:

  • A high positive correlation was observed between the estimated dry-land EMG and the EMG recorded with waterproofed electrodes.
  • The novel method demonstrated stable estimated dry-land EMG signals during a 30-minute underwater stepping experiment.
  • The system effectively compensated for changes in measurement conditions.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method effectively eliminates the impact of changing measurement conditions on underwater EMG data.
  • Utilizing non-waterproofed electrodes with system identification is a viable approach for long-term underwater surface EMG recording.
  • This technique enhances the reliability and accuracy of prolonged underwater EMG measurements.
