    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Kinesiology

    Background:

    • Electromyography (EMG) analysis is crucial in clinical research.
    • Existing tools often neglect EMG data non-linearity and synergistic neuromuscular effects.
    • The SYNERGOS algorithm was developed for non-linear analysis of multiple neuromuscular activation (MNA).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the generalizability of the SYNERGOS index.
    • To assess SYNERGOS index performance across different walking speeds and over separate days.
    • To determine if SYNERGOS is a robust tool for EMG analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Ten healthy adults (18-40 years) participated in the study.
    • EMG data was collected from the right upper and lower leg during treadmill walking on two separate days.
    • SYNERGOS indices were calculated, and a generalizability analysis was performed, including inter-trial and inter-day effects.

    Main Results:

    • The SYNERGOS algorithm detected changes in MNA in response to altered gait speeds.
    • A high generalizability coefficient (ρ^2 = 0.823) with a standard error of 5.117 was observed.
    • Nominal inter-trial and inter-day effects indicated robust performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The SYNERGOS index demonstrates significant generalizability in EMG analysis.
    • The algorithm is sensitive to task modifications and associated neuromotor changes.
    • SYNERGOS shows potential as a valuable tool for advanced EMG data analysis.
