Abstract

Vibromyography (VMG) and electromyography (EMG) were compared during isometric contraction of the human quadriceps muscles, by evaluating the averaged root mean squared (RMS) value, peak frequency, and mean frequency (MF) of simultaneously recorded VMG and EMG signals for four levels of muscle contraction on a Cybex II machine at 60° of knee joint flexion angle. It was found that the VMG and EMG signals were in general equally sensitive to the levels of muscle contraction. Results show that the RMS values of the VMG and the EMG signals increase linearly, in a similar manner, with increasing muscle contraction levels.
