Comparison Of Manual And Automatic Detection Of Muscle Activation Moments

Abstract

Detection of muscle activation moments is very important characteristic of human mobility. Muscle activation is used to describe how muscles work during some action. There are differences between muscle activation of healthy people and people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases or musculoskeletal disorders. The aim of this article is to compare results from manual and automatic detection of muscle activation moments from which driver reaction time is estimated. The main interest of this work is to find out if reaction time of healthy people differs from reaction time of people suffering by Parkinson disease.
