Real-time processing of electromyograms in an automated hand-forearm ergometer data collection and analysis system

An automated hand-forearm ergometer with realtime data analysis would be a helpful tool to evaluate muscle fatigue mid-experiment, offering insights into changes in electromyogram parameters that can be used to track fatigue in the hand and forearm musculature. This work presents real-time additions to a custom, automated hand-forearm ergometer that will perform mid-experiment signal processing and help to identify fatigue onset and predict task failure.
