Conference 2011A calibration method is proposed to compensate for the changes in the surface electromyogram (SEMG) amplitude level of the biceps brachii at different joint angles due to the movement of the muscle bulk under the EMG electrodes for a constant force level. To this end, an experiment was designed, and SEMG and force measurements were collected from 5 subjects. The fast orthogonal search (FOS) method was used to find a mapping between SEMG from the biceps and force recorded at the wrist. Comparison between evaluation values from models trained with calibrated and non-calibrated SEMG signals revealed a statistically significant superiority of models trained with the calibrated SEMG.
