ABSTRACT:
An automated method of decomposing an electromyogram for identifying and measuring individual motor-unit action potentials. An electromyogram interference pattern is sampled at its Nyquist rate and digitally filtered to accentuate the rapidly rising spike components. The spikes are classified by template matching, using their canonically registered discrete Fourier transforms to align and compare them. The classifications are verified by analysis of interspike intervals. The motor-unit action potentials are then averaged from the unfiltered interference pattern using the identified spikes as triggers.
