[Automated analysis of motor unit potentials of a normal population]

The real-time and automatic system that we have developed, providing EMG signal acquisition, processing and storage, helps in decision making. This implies the formation of a reference signal set and the accurate determining of the influence of various parameters. Using data analysis methods, our normal population analysis investigates the effects of age, sex and muscle. Assignment tests have been carried out with learning classes (formed with signals obtained from healthy and myopathic subjects) to measure the variability of a possible aid-to-diagnosis procedure.
