Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Surface electromyography (EMG) signals are crucial for analyzing muscle activity and patient muscle status.
  • Commercial EMG systems often suffer from high costs and significant power consumption, limiting their widespread use.
  • There is a need for efficient and accessible EMG acquisition systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement a surface EMG acquisition system with high sampling capabilities and ultra-low power consumption.
  • To optimize EMG acquisition circuits and integrate microcontroller units (MCUs) with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
  • To enhance power-saving mechanisms for extended battery life in portable EMG devices.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis and optimization of individual components within the EMG acquisition circuit.
  • Integration of an MCU with BLE for wireless data transmission.
  • Implementation of MCU power-saving techniques, including dual-frequency clock sources and a ping-pong buffer memory architecture.
  • Real-time forwarding of measured EMG signal samples to a host for processing.

Main Results:

  • The proposed architecture achieved an average current reduction of 92.72% compared to commercial devices.
  • Battery life was extended by a factor of 9.057.
  • High correlation coefficients (up to 99.5%) demonstrated strong agreement with commercial systems.

Conclusions:

  • The developed surface EMG acquisition system offers a significant reduction in power consumption and a substantial increase in battery life.
  • The system provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative to expensive commercial EMG devices.
  • The high agreement with commercial systems validates the accuracy and reliability of the proposed low-power EMG solution.
