Development of a New Multi-channel Electrode and Signal Processing for Surface Electromyography Signals Feature Extraction
(Auckland University of Technology, 2017)The overall aim of the research reported in this thesis was to build a new multi-channel electrode and to investigate and develop signal processing techniques for sEMG signals, in order to enable the extractions of more ... -
The effect of lumbar posture and pelvis fixation on back extensor torque and paravertebral muscle activation
(Auckland University of Technology, 2013)Lumbar postures using a high degree of flexion are considered a risk factor associated with manual handling related back injuries. The lumbar posture adopted during lifting is thought to alter the force capabilities of ... -
The effect of real-time biofeedback on lumbar spine and lower limb kinematics and kinetics during repetitive lifting
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)The incidence of low back pain (LBP) in occupations that involve repetitive lifting is disproportionately high compared to other physical occupations. This has been attributed to prolonged and sustained end range spinal ... -
Extraction of Electrocardiography Artefacts From Surface Electromyography Signals Using Continuous Wavelet Transform
(Auckland University of Technology, 2019)The study of biosignals such as Electromyography (EMG) and Electrocardiography (ECG) signals is significant within the physiological and medical field for diagnosis and rehabilitation purposes. The extraction of features ... -
Muscle Endurance Performance of Quadriceps and Hamstrings, and Functional Ability Before and after Arthroscopic Meniscal Surgery: a Case Controlled Inter-limb Comparison
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate muscle performance of the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles, as well as lower limb function in participants with meniscal lesions that required partial meniscectomy. ...
