Apparat og fremgangsmåde til overvågning af muskelaktivitet

摘要

An apparatus and a method for monitoring muscle activity are provided. The apparatus comprises a sensor for detecting the generated electromyographic signals and processing means. The processing means generates an event signal if the electromyographic signal exceeds a predetermined power content within a predetermined time window. The event signal triggers an event, which may be an alarm. The apparatus further comprises communication means for transmitting the detected electromyographic signals from the sensor to the processing means. The means comprises the steps of detecting and evaluating the electromyographic signals. Furthermore, the method comprises generating an event signal and triggering an event by the event signal.
