Low-Cost Wearable Band Sensors of Surface Electromyography for Detecting Hand Movements.

ABSTRACT: Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a non-invasive measure of electrical activity generated due to muscle contraction. In recent years, sEMG signals have been increasingly used in diverse applications such as rehabilitation, pattern recognition, and control of orthotic and prosthetic systems. This study presents the development of a versatile multi-channel sEMG low-cost wearable band system to acquire 4 signals. In this case, the signals acquired with the proposed device have been used to detect hand movements. However, the WyoFlex band could be used in some sections of the arm or the leg if the section's diameter matches the diameter of the WyoFlex band. The designed WyoFlex band was fabricated using three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques employing thermoplastic polyurethane and polyla
