Journal ArticleDOI
Characterizing EMG data using machine-learning tools
TL;DR: A critical review of some of the classification methodologies used in EMG characterization, and presents the state-of-the-art accomplishments in this field, emphasizing neuromuscular pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related neuromuscular changes affecting human vastus lateralis
Mathew Piasecki,Alex Ireland,Daniel W. Stashuk,Andrew Hamilton-Wright,David A. Jones,Jamie S. McPhee +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the anterior thigh muscles are particularly susceptible to muscle loss and weakness during ageing, but it remains unclear how this is associated with changes to neuromuscular structure and function in terms of motor unit (MU) number, size and MU potential (MUP) stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiologically based simulation of clinical EMG signals
TL;DR: An algorithm that generates electromyographic signals consistent with those acquired in a clinical setting using a model constructed to closely resemble the physiology and morphology of skeletal muscle combined with line source models of commonly used needle electrodes positioned in a way consistent with clinical studies is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurogenic changes in the upper airway of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Julian P. Saboisky,Daniel W. Stashuk,Andrew Hamilton-Wright,Andrea L. Carusona,Lisa M. Campana,John Trinder,Danny J. Eckert,Amy S. Jordan,David G. McSharry,David P. White,Sanjeev Nandedkar,William S. David,Atul Malhotra +12 more
TL;DR: These results confirm the extent and existence of structural neural remodeling in OSA and quantify the extent of motor unit potential morphology derived from electromyographic (EMG) signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Motor unit number estimates and neuromuscular transmission in the tibialis anterior of master athletes: evidence that athletic older people are not spared from age-related motor unit remodeling.
Mathew Piasecki,Alex Ireland,Jessica Coulson,Daniel W. Stashuk,Andrew Hamilton-Wright,Agnieszka Swiecicka,Martin K. Rutter,Jamie S. McPhee,David A. Jones +8 more
TL;DR: Results show substantial and similar motor unit loss and remodeling in Master Athletes and Old individuals compared with Young, which suggests that lifelong training does not attenuate the age‐related loss of motor units.
