Abstract

Spectral electromyography (EMG), which supplements classical electromyography (EMG), is one of the diagnostic techniques of the physical health of a person. Different spectral analysis techniques are suitable for carrying out EMG; Fourier transform and wavelet analysis are the basic ones. Fourier transform has one serious drawback, i.e. meaningful measurements are misleading due to the Gibbs phenomenon. According to the authors, the best solution is the Morlet wavelet function, which also has drawbacks. Firstly, compensation for the Gibbs effect is incomplete. Secondly, the basic view of the Morlet wavelet function prevents changing the properties of functions for different applications. Thirdly, it requires significant computing resources (millions of multiply-accumulate operations per second). The article is devoted to the ways of solution of these problems using myosignal processing as an example.
