Abstract :
The study is focus on modeling muscle effort from VMG signals from the lower back using wavelet packages. From careful research and repeated experimentation, the location of the sensor for obtaining the most consistent and clear VMG signal has abstained. For the further study, the investigation will look for a relatively accurate wavelet package to find a more accurate way to proportionally estimate muscle effort.
