Wearable devices based on surface electromyography (sEMG) to detect muscle activity can be used to assess muscle strength with the development of hand rehabilitation applications. However, conventional acquisition devices are usually complicated to operate and poorly comfortable for more medical and scientific application scenarios. Here, we report a flexible sEMG acquisition system that combines a graphene-based flexible electrode with a signal acquisition flexible printed circuit (FPC) board. Our system utilizes a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate combined with graphene transfer technology to develop a flexible sEMG sensor. The single-lead sEMG acquisition system was designed and the FPC board was fabricated considering the requirements of flexible bending and twisting. We demonstrate the above design approach and extend this flexible sEMG acquisition system to applications for assessing muscle strength and hand rehabilitation training using a long- and short-term memory network training model trained to predict muscle strength, with 98.81% accuracy in the test set. The device exhibited good flexion and comfort characteristics. In general, the ability to accurately and imperceptibly monitor surface electromyography (EMG) signals is critical for medical professionals and patients.
