A Critical Review and Proposed Improvement in the Assessment of Muscle Interactions Using Surface EMG

“…A second interest is in the envelope shape of the EMG waveform over an entire movement. Lastly, there is the interest in relating the force generated by a muscle to itself (at some other part of the movement) or to some other muscle (Rechtien, et al 1999). In order for the EMG representation of forces to be related to one another, each must be normalized to some standard value.…”
