Abstract
The use of multiple surface EMG electrodes (High-Density surface EMG - HD-sEMG) allows the extraction of anatomical and physiological information either at the muscle or at the motor unit level with applications in several fields ranging from clinical neurophysiology to the control of prosthetic devices. These applications need to acquire monopolar sEMG signals free from power line interference arising from the capacitive coupling between the subject, the acquisition system and the power line. The aim of this work is to provide a common mode analysis of the detection system used to collect monopolar sEMG signals, characterizing different configuration of the reference electrodes leading to different behaviors in terms of immunity to the power line interference. Based on the experimental results, a new impedance-controlled HD-sEMG signal amplifier is proposed and discussed.
