Abstract

An investigation of surface electromyogram (EMG) of antagonist muscles in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET) was carried out. A comparison was made between two methods for calculating instantaneous phases of envelopes of EMG signals. The first method is based on calculating the ridges of wavelet spectrograms of envelopes of EMG signals. The second method is based on using the Hilbert transform. Statistically significant difference between the mean values of the phase difference of the EMG signal envelopes was found in the antagonist muscles in PD and ET patients.
