Abstract

An electromyogram (EMG) amplification device is designed and presented in this research. The designed amplifier circuit is fed with EMG signals measured from surface of the skin using bipolar electrodes configuration which enables the measurement of the signal from muscle interest in an efficient manner. EMG can be defined as the electrical potential produced due to the contraction of muscle. It can be picked from the residual portion of muscles of an amputee. However, the amplitude of EMG signal is weak and very small which is between of 0 to 5mV. The objectives of this research are to design, construct and validate the designed EMG amplification circuit. The EMG measuring system consists of sensor, signal conditioning and display data. In this research the EMG signal will be extracted from human hand muscle for various hand grip activity. The designed EMG amplification is expected to show various pattern of EMG signal produced based on different hand grip force applied.
