| Abstract | It was observed that certain myoelectric surface potentials are of a pulse nature. The pulses have nearly the same exact waveshape, but are asynchronously repetitive. Physiological evidence indicated that myoelectric pulses are concurrent with the activity of a small unit of organized muscle fibres (motor unit). The electrical activity of the motor unit was the basis for the design of a simple electrolytic tank electrode system. A set of myoelectric surface potential waveforms derived from multiple-point observations were used to establish geometrical relationships which were incorporated in the electrolytic tank analog. The electrolytic tank analog was then able to produce waveforms whose general characteristics corresponded quite well to the given set of myoelectric waveforms. |
